    6-8" total (3-4" up from centre , 3-4" down from centre), but again, no guarantee it will go that far and not struggle to pull it back. Your head will move further than that.
    With screens static you may find its way too much throw. My mate did, now he reduced his throw by about 1/2.

    You can always increase it later if you require. Beauty of the Jrks I use, I have two setting files , one that short and sharp for racing games and then when I set up for a flight game and more angle I can simply load the other setting file, apply in the Jrk Utility and use it for flight ie racing is set to 80mm of movement on 65mm c/c levers and flight I use 100mm with equates to another 10 deg of roll and pitch.

    I think at the moment they use simvibe but it's expensive, think there are some workarounds to get sound coming out using a second sound card. I read it in a post here somewhere
