[BAMustang]

I currently have Realflight installed on computer connected to my Home Theater system. i would like to add a USB extender so that i can sit in my chair while flying. i need Approx 12 ft extension. is there a spec or recommendation on what USB extender i would need to purchase?

Thanks

You may find you need a hub (possibly a powered one) to maintain the signal over that distance. It wouldn't hurt anything to try without that first to see, though.

They also make powered usb extender cables.

Here's one example. A powered 32 ft. USB 2.0 extender cable.
