+ | ===Pedestals=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pedestals are used to add various generic controls to the collective base. You can easily find them with your left hand, without letting go of the cyclic stick, which allows you to fly more comfortably. They are designed for blind operation, so work perfectly in VR. | ||
**a) Simple pedestal**\\ | **a) Simple pedestal**\\ | ||
+ | This is basically a VR mouse with some extra switches. It contains a mini stick that you can move the cursor with, a universal knob to turn everything you need to turn in the cockpit, and a filtered zoom wheel on the side. | ||

+ | **b) VRMax II pedestal**\\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | This one includes the simple pedestal, but also contains a radio panel with 4 knobs, 2 buttons, and an 8-way selector switch, that is used to map the panel to 8 different sets of buttons. This thing will let you assign a radio stack and most of the other knobs in the cockpit easily! | ||

+ | ===Pneumatic mod=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The pneumatic mod is used to add some smooth resistance to the levers with heavier heads. However, a friction tensioner, lubricated with lithium grease, provides mostly the same experience and should be sufficient in most cases. | ||
