Absolutely. Thats what I did, too. I made the new house one giant “I love me” wall. It helped.

I don’t like to offer unsought-advice, but you might consider getting a dedicated simpit chair like the Boeing or whatever nonsense is offered these days, if you have room for it. The difference between simming at a desk versus with a realistic seating position/controls layout is pretty amazing. Then you’re not having to move flight controls when doing normal PC work.

I do 
I know that was TIC, but for nonsense, they are a pretty slick piece of kit and one of the few IKEA/DIY/Flat Pack solutions that offer a central joystick mount for a realistic price.
When I did the sums it was going to cost me as much (if not more) in parts and material to build something identical?
It does mean that you need two set-up’s. One for ‘Office’ work and one for flight simming and down the track, a third for driving/racing sims, and then… this is where I hand over to the certified Bad Influencers
But hey @BeachAV8R you not only have a room, but your entire house is now your man cave. Go for it son.

Oh, I didn’t even mean it tongue in cheek, I just literally don’t know/remember all the different options and brand names. They’re definitely awesome, and building yourself is a lot of time and effort, I agree with your conclusion. I’d find one that offers both central and side stick and then run both the sim and the desktop off the same PC, just plug a second set of KB&M or maybe just wireless.

We are back to this then… the ‘Commercial’ and ‘Military’ Editions are functionally identical. The only difference is whether you want faux sheepskin or green/OD fabric?

Finally had a clearish day, skiing with manboy in Ischgl.
So much snow….
The dot in the middle is my helmet after I tried to stop next to him and didn’t spot the drift.
…some time later, taking a rest after digging out.

@BeachAV8R , hope you hang in there. Stay stoic, stay strong. Your place is going to be fabulous. Just a new phase buddy.
So for the rest of you… i went out last night. Im in Doha w my lady. I went to a bar w her and i stand before this… I looked for a data plate to no avail… looks like a P&W 9 Cylinder but it could be anything to me…
The next day we were sitting there and saw this. A very impressive 12 Cyl air cooled beast. Again no data was available. The girl at the bar said maybe it was a Ferrari engine. Looks like a 40 plus liter engine to me, so no way.

Thanks, I took that image this evening from a mine dump called Halde Rheinpreußen that features a small tower in the shape of an old Miner’s Lamp: https://das-geleucht.de/
You are looking at the A42-Bridge over the Rhine between Duisburg-Baerl and Duisburg-Beek and part of the largest steel mill in Germany (Thyssen-Krupp Steel). It covers an area as big as some cities and employs about 10.000 people, it is huge!
