Mounting your ProTas Joystick

Mounting your ProTas:

1.     Before continuing, please consider reading our PDF Assembly guide (PROMPTS DOWNLOAD) for mounting to chair and desk. Following that, and having an understanding of your intended playspace, you can determine how you want to mount the ProTas. With all of this information in mind, before mounting continue to the next section of better understanding the ProTas, which is vital to quality use in game.

Understanding your ProTas:

1.     The concept behind how the ProTas is used is very similar to that of the MagTube. You put the controllers on, and line things up in game. Where the ProTas drastically differs from the MagTube, is you are not carrying the virtual controls with you as you move around - they are in a very fixed position. You therefore need to adjust where the ProTas is physically to line up with your cockpit virtually. More importantly, just like how different guns in 1 game have different mounting points requiring adjustment of the MagTube for optimal alignment, the same can be said for different cockpits and different games.

2.     Achieving a good alignment with the ProTas involves a multi-step process between physically adjusting the ProTas, and some adjustments in software (as in, the game, or tools your headset can use such as SteamVR, Oculus, etc.).

3.     You can go about approaching good alignment in many different ways, but they all start by deciding where you will be mounting the ProTas. Keep in mind no matter where you mount it physically, you will not have a perfect universal alignment across all cockpits in all games. Like the MagTube, you will need to figure out good alignment multiple times if you play multiple games or use multiple cockpits. I will break down some basic steps you can take for each approach down below.
