Abstract
A control frame for accommodating various control devices in different aircraft cockpit and vehicle configurations used with computer flight simulation programs and diverse games. The control frame allows realistic placement of control devices, simulating different cockpit configurations consistent with actual aircraft types and vehicles. Ergonomic consideration in the design reduces fatigue. The modular properties enable a quick change of the configurations. Stable mounting of device controllers and to fix in place a common computer/office chair will optimize control performance. The light, sturdy and small apparatus enables ease of handling and storage.
