Video: Unboxing, table mount size, GT Omega mount, forces

I admit - I'll watch an unboxing video now and then.  I now shamefully announce my first ever unboxing vid.  There.  Social media nerd badge attained.

Hope it's useful!

Your first unboxing video. Our first being featured in an unboxing video!

awesome! Thanks Nathan. Mind if I link to it on our social media? No problem if you don’t.

Feel free!

Nice video!  Thanks Nathan.

 

Have you used it for a flight?  If so, will another video be forthcoming?

Glance at the documentation, throw it away and proceed to make it up as you go along. About as realistic an unboxing as you could possibly get 😄

I’ve got to say the sound of polystyrene scraping on cardboard made me shiver 😬😆

This was all before my first flight.  And now I've had about 3 hours so far.  I fly exclusively in VR.  I believe my old saitek yoke used an averaging technique to filter out some noise from it's potentiometers - which gave its appearance in x-plane a '30hz on a 60hz' effect.  Like my other hall-effect joysticks, the Fulcrum yoke is silky smooth.  My X-plane is running around 45fps, but the appearance of the yoke in my real hand and virtual hand has no lag.  Nice.

My 'issue' right now is mounting - I do need to drill some holes (not in the yoke!) so it can sit a bit further away from me.  In my current VR position, I have occasionally 'boinked' the front-facing buttons with my VR mask when I lean forwards.  Luckily they haven't been mapped to anything dangerous.  Once I get it 5cm further away from me, it should happen far less and I'll fly some more.

I'm more of a GA VFR flyer, not at all an airliner flyer, so you wont see anything in that respect from me - although I do have Colomata's Concorde - the yoke should work nicely with that one!

If I find more worth sharing, or someone needs to see something worth videoing, I'll happily make another short vid.
