Sitting down when using Phoenix sim

[Twister3D]

I always feel so much more relaxed when using the sim, that must be because I sit down resting the trans on my lap?

I suppose this isnt the correct way to practice, but it seems stupid standing up in front of the monitor

Who sits and who stands?

I'm a sitter but try not to rest the tx in my lap. I tried the standing up thing and just felt stupid!

[Sao]

Sit but hold the Tx like I would when flying

I took the sim to work today, quite a few people have been asking about rc helis, we all flew, err crashed, standing up but I normally sit down, I think it was a bit harder to maintain fine control standing up, maybe it was because I didn't take the neck strap.

Standing for me. I find it is best to replicate flying at the field as best as possible to get the most out of the sim. I never sit down and fly at the field so would never sit when on the sim. I have widescreen monitor mounted on the wall at head height so my head can also be in the right position.

As for finding it harder to maintain fine control standing..... all the more reason to sim when standing i think.... so you can get used to developing fine control when standing. Its kinda counter productive otherwise i think

Sitting down. Doesn't really affect anything, no difference standing up and sitting down, I use tx strap (not when simming) and feeling is pretty much the same.
I may try real flying sitting down

Interesting.... it makes a big difference for me. Standing all the way. Different strokes and all that though

Sitting down, occasionally stand but then feel (and look) like a plonker. Lol.

Why do you care about looking like a plonker in your own house?
