Next Level Racing Flight Simulator: Boeing Commercial Edition

Expensive? Not for what you get! This flight sim seat is the absolute best you will get short of a rig that costs thousands. Highly recommended

Mejor de lo esperado...

I was absolutely blown away at the quality of this seat. I have a full HOTAS setup with pedals and MFDs that I use primarily for DCS. Assembly was easy. 10/10. There are written instructions that a really good, but you can also watch one of several videos that they have to walk you through the assembly process. Hardware is primarily M8 with a few M5, so not many tools required. The do give you the standard throwaway tools, but do yourself a favor and use your own. Setup was a breeze, as well. 10/10. There are many options in terms of stick location and keyboard location, and you will have parts left over. I tried multiple mounting positions before I landed on the center stick/side elevated keyboard configuration that just felt right. I use VR, so I was birdboxing around for the first few hours, but I was able to adjust all of the controls so that they matched their locations in VR space. Quality is top notch. 10/10. I am 5'10" and weigh about 230lbs and this thing supports my weight without even a whimper. Getting in and out of the seat can be a bit of a trick, but even when I am lifting myself out and putting my full weight against the back rest, there are no creaks, cracks, or groans that might indicate that I am finding a weak spot. When I am vigorously working the controls, they are brick house solid. There is no sense that they are mounted to a frame. The lack of any flex in the mounting really adds to the immersive experience that you expect from a sim pit of this caliber. Comfort is really good, but for me it could be better. 9.5/10. As I said before, I am on the bigger side, so I might be just a bit outside the design parameters, but I do get some discomfort after a few hours in the seat. That said, there are adjustments just like you have in your car. The seat slides forward and back and the back reclines to a near flat angle. There is a faux sheep wool cover on the seat that is of a higher quality than you might expect. I use a similar cover on my motorcycle seat when I am doing long distance touring. It's great for support and air flow. There is also a fairly substantial lumbar support included. I thought that I might just set that aside, but it really does enhance the comfort of the seat. Value overall is good. 9/10. I've had a lot of good things to say about this chair and the high praise is on par with the price they are asking. Looking for a premium, no BS sim experience on a solid, aesthetically pleasing platform? These guys have it nailed.

Assembly took about an hour but I'm super happy wit the result. It's a great addition to my flight sim.

Produit de haute et belle qualité. Belle finition. Confortable. Le plan de montage est parfaitement explicite. Je recommande le produit pour les personnes qui pratiquent le simulateur.

Sehr solide, mit minimalem handwerklichen Geschick gut aufzubauen. Mein Sim ist im Keller, für die Treppe brauchte ich n zweiten Mann, der Aufbau war alleine nach ca. 3 Std erledigt. Es sind für alle möglichen Hersteller von Steuergeräten Teile dabei, dazu kann ich nichts sagen da ich für mein Yoke und die Rudderpedals von Brunner etwas selber bauen mußte - die Grundlage dafür ist aber auch gut. Was mir fehlt: - Armlehnen. Hört sich nach nem Luxusproblem an, aber es erleichtert präzises und gefühlvolles fliegen enorm (ich war früher Berufspilot und kanns nicht lassen). - Wenn rechts und links Throttle, Halterung fürs iPad, Tastatur und Maus angebaut sind ist der Einstieg mühsam, da würde ich mir etwas zum wegklappen wünschen. - Aufrollautomatik für die Schultergurte. - Position für Honeycomb Bravo Throttle zu tief und zu weit hinten, da das Gerät in der Szene vermutlich weit verbreitet ist, sollte man da auf jeden Fall nachbessern. Ich habe ein Provisorium aus Holz gebaut, sieht aber „plünnich“ aus und kommt auf jeden Fall wieder weg. - Kaffeebecherhalter - jetzt wirds dekadent, fände ich aber richtig cool, und würde ich sofort kaufen :-) Der Sitzkomfort ist dem des Originals sehr ähnlich, nach spätestens drei Stunden sollte man mal frischen Kaffee holen. Obwohl ich einiges verbessern würde, ganz wichtig die Position für den Throttlequadrant, spreche ich eine Kaufempfehlung aus.
