Title: J rails placement
Post by: Skysurfer170 on February 23, 2016, 01:37:15 PM
I just ordered a set from FSC but i'm unsure how far i should place them from the yoke? I use a ACE yoke captains side and its floor mounted wity that boack base box. So does anyone know how far i should place my J rails?

When your seats are fitted the travel should stop just short of hitting the control column at full pitch up. That's how I set up the fabulous Aerosim Solutions JRails ;)!!

On my sim I have the forward tip of the J-Rail set 4.5 inches back from the aft side of the column when the column is in a neutral position.

Don't forget, using the technique in previous post is totally dependent on how far forward you have the seat on the rail (which is totally dependent on individual pilot preference).
