You’ll also find a decent selection at your local auto parts store. If you don’t have a junker sitting in the driveway, racing seats are pretty easy to come by on Amazon and fairly inexpensive. I pulled mine out of a 2002 Ford Taurus, just before donating it. Car seats are perfect for building a simpit, and just about any seat you can fit in will do. Paired with the Thrustmaster TPR pedals, you’ve got a setup that can take a lot of punishment and last for years to come.
The $549.99 set has lots of metal components, and plenty of switches for even the most demanding sims. The system has been in production for a long time, and for good reason. If you’re looking for an upgrade, consider the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS.

The Logitech G Pro Flight Rudder Pedals, on the other hand, aren’t quite as elegant, but they get the job done. You can purchase all three components together in a bundle. The Thrustmaster also has a matching pedal assembly, which attaches directly to the throttle and looks great. I’ve used both of them, and recommend them highly. Both are sold with a matching throttle, and both feature a special twist axis on the stick itself to let you simulate a rudder. On PC, the two most popular commercial flight sticks on the market right now are the Logitech X52 and the Thrustmaster T16000M. The HTC Vive Pro Starter Kit includes the VR headset, two Steam VR base stations, and two Vive controllers.Ĭhoose a flight stick, throttle, and pedals There are plenty of excellent options right now for VR, and we’ve detailed all of the leading devices in our Half-Life: Alyx buying guide.

That’s because there are already plenty of games that you can play on PC right now that can make use of a quality simpit, so even if Squadrons comes up short when it finally gets released you’ll still have some excellent games to play.įor my PC setup, I’ve opted for the HTC Vive Pro, mainly because that’s what was sitting around in the Polygon library when I started the build. My recommendation if you’re starting from scratch is to build your cockpit around the PC.
Polygon has reached out for more details. EA promises more information on which flight sticks and HOTAS (hands-on throttle and stick) solutions will be fully compatible sometime in the future.

There’s also a full list of system specifications for the PC you’ll need to run it, both with and without VR. It mentions PlayStation VR and Oculus-brand devices by name in its FAQ, and says the game will be compatible with other headsets as well. Right now, EA isn’t giving all the details on which peripherals will be compatible with Squadrons. Even if you’re not going whole hog with a VR headset, there’s still plenty of great information below. I’ll finish things off with a complete shopping list of everything I’ve included in my rig as pictured. Here are a few creative solutions I found for making a video game cockpit - also called a “simpit” - without breaking the bank, as well as a couple of must-have items to take your build to the next level. I’ve also built it with an eye on Microsoft Flight Simulator, which is expected to arrive later this year. As designed, this same rig is also fully compatible with DCS World, MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, Star Citizen, and War Thunder. I’ve spent part of the last few months of quarantine tinkering in my garage, refining my own flight simulation setup for use primarily with Elite: Dangerous. That means the clock is ticking for you to build the dedicated cockpit you’ve always wanted.

Squadrons is scheduled to be released Oct. Even more exciting is the fact that it will be compatible with modern flight sticks, throttles, and virtual reality headsets - including PlayStation VR. It looks every inch like the first-person, in-cockpit space combat game that fans have been waiting for since the original Star Wars: X -Wing and Star Wars: TIE Fighter classics. Star Wars fans let out a collective gasp when Electronic Arts announced Star Wars: Squadrons in June.
