The Next Level Racing® Flight Simulator Seat 2.0 is a dedicated standalone seat developed 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 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.
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.
Better suited to yoke, throttle quadrant, sidestick, and HOTAS layouts than a deeply reclined racing seat.
Designed for extended flights where posture, back support, and arm positioning become increasingly important.
Suitable for airliner, general aviation, combat flight, helicopter, and space-sim environments.
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.
Fine-tunes the amount of lower-back support to match the pilot’s preferred seating feel.
Adjusts where the support contacts the back rather than relying on a fixed lumbar location.
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.
Supports relaxed elbow positioning while the hands remain on a centrally mounted yoke.
Helps support the forearms when controls are mounted beside the seat.
Improves comfort when the throttle is used repeatedly over extended sessions.
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.
Seat sliders help users reach rudder pedals and flight controls without rebuilding the cockpit.
Reinforced recliners improve support and rigidity while allowing fast angle adjustment.
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.
Designed to reduce unwanted movement during demanding control inputs.
Provides a premium appearance with a surface that is practical to clean and maintain.
Keeps simulator accessories, checklists, and small peripherals organized.
