Purpose-Built Standalone Flight Simulation Seat Next Level Racing® Flight Simulator Seat 2.0 The Next Level Racing® Flight Simulator Seat 2.0 is a dedicated standalone seat develop ed specifically for commercial aviation, general aviation, combat flight, and space simulation. Unlike a racing seat adapted for flight use, it is designed around upright pilot ergonomics, long-session comfort, and stable control inputs for yokes, joysticks, throttles, and HOTAS systems. Flight-Specific Ergonomics Dual Lumbar Adjustment Seat Sliders Included 150 kg / 331 lb Capacity i ProSimHQ Expert Insight A Better Fit for Pilots Than a Repurposed Racing Seat Flight simulation places different demands on seating than sim racing. Pilots often sit more upright, use arm-supported controls, and remain in position for much longer sessions. The Flight Simulator Seat 2.0 addresses those needs with adjustable armrests, integrated lateral and vertical lumbar support, seat sliders, and a reinforced dual-recliner system. We recommend it for serious home flight simulators, multi-purpose cockpit builds, training environments, and commercial installations where comfort and repeatable seating position matter as much as visual immersion. What we like most: The lumbar and armrest adjustments make a meaningful difference during long flights. They help the seat adapt to the pilot and control layout instead of forcing the pilot to adapt to a fixed racing-style seating position. Flight-Specific Ergonomics The Flight Simulator Seat 2.0 is designed around the posture and control positions commonly used in commercial, general aviation, combat flight, and space simulation. Upright Pilot Position Better suited to yoke, throttle quadrant, sidestick, and HOTAS layouts than a deeply reclined racing seat. Long-Session Support Designed for extended flights where posture, back support, and arm positioning become increasingly important. Flexible Simulation Use Suitable for airliner, general aviation, combat flight, helicopter, and space-sim environments. Lateral and Vertical Lumbar Adjustment The integrated lumbar system allows the user to adjust both the amount and vertical position of lower-back support. This helps different users find a more natural posture during long simulator sessions. Lateral Support Adjustment Fine-tunes the amount of lower-back support to match the pilot’s preferred seating feel. Vertical Lumbar Positioning Adjusts where the support contacts the back rather than relying on a fixed lumbar location. Adjustable Armrests for Flight Controls Adjustable armrests help support a more natural arm position when operating yokes, joystick bases, throttle quadrants, and HOTAS controls. This can reduce shoulder and forearm fatigue during long flights or repeated training sessions. Yoke Setups Supports relaxed elbow positioning while the hands remain on a centrally mounted yoke. HOTAS Setups Helps support the forearms when controls are mounted beside the seat. Throttle Quadrants Improves comfort when the throttle is used repeatedly over extended sessions. Dual Recliners and Seat Sliders The included seat sliders provide forward and backward positioning, while the reinforced double-recliner system allows backrest-angle adjustment and improves structural strength compared with a traditional single-recliner design. Forward and Backward Adjustment Seat sliders help users reach rudder pedals and flight controls without rebuilding the cockpit. Dual Recliner Structure Reinforced recliners improve support and rigidity while allowing fast angle adjustment. Construction, Upholstery and Storage The seat uses a reinforced frame and perforated synthetic-leather cushions designed for comfort, durability, and easy maintenance. A rear storage pocket keeps checklists, cables, manuals, or small accessories within reach. Reinforced Seat Frame Designed to reduce unwanted movement during demanding control inputs. Perforated Synthetic Leather Provides a premium appearance with a surface that is practical to clean and maintain. Rear Storage Pocket Keeps simulator accessories, checklists, and small peripherals organized. Next Level Racing Cockpit Compatibility The Flight Simulator Seat 2.0 integrates with several current and legacy Next Level Racing cockpit platforms. Flight Simulator Range Compatible with the Next Level Racing Flight Simulator and Flight Simulator Pro / Seat Pro platforms. Elite Series Cockpits Compatible with supported Next Level Racing Elite Series cockpit frames. GTtrack and GTSeat Add-On Compatible with the GTtrack Cockpit and GTSeat Add-On platform. F-GT Cockpit Compatible when the shifter assembly is not installed in the conflicting position. Custom or third-party cockpit compatibility depends on slider spacing, mounting-hole locations, frame width, and available hardware. Measure before ordering. Who Is This Seat Best For? Commercial Aviation Users Long-haul and airliner simulator pilots who value upright posture and lumbar support.
