Trust me, I was really bored one day after class. I had an old desk with a pull-out keyboard shelf and I decided to use that to make a joystick base for my computer chair. I had an old Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D joystick, which IMHO has one of the most comfortable grips of any joystick I've ever used. And well, here's the result:
I've been using it for about a month and a half now, and I love it! This summer though things will get more serious with a full viper pit kit bought from Penny over at ViperPits.org.

I really like the center-stick setup, it gives me a more solid formation hand to work with IMHO, being able to rest my elbow on my leg like the Blues. But hey I have no problem with a side-stick config either. Also, most of my formation flying is done in IL-2: 1946 anyways, so having a center-stick setup is more realistic for the era of aircraft I'm usually in. But it's pretty sweet to fly with in Lomac too.
