 ===== About Pedestals =====
-A pedestal is a device that is mounted onto the collective base to extend its functionality. A few of them are currently available under the MKIV line of hardware. \\ The recommended default option for flying in VR is a simple pedestal. If you use radios often, try [[http://hc625ma.org/wiki/doku.php?id=simchair4:guide_pedestal_vrmax_2|VRMax II]] one instead.

 ===== Summary =====
-The Simple Pedestal for the MKIV collective base is a universal VR mouse replacement device, that will make your flying experience much better in a simple way. \\ It features a single **knob emulating the mousewheel** and a **ministick to control a cursor** – that means __you can control any knob in the cockpit__ no matter how many of them are there. That also means that you can use your left hand to comfortably operate switches and radios while flying.
