The Next Level Racing® Flight Simulator Seat 2.0 is a dedicated standalone seat developed specifically for commercial aviation, general aviation, and combat flight simulation. Unlike a racing seat adapted for flight use, it is designed around pilot ergonomics, long-session comfort, and stable control inputs for yokes, joysticks, throttles, and HOTAS systems.
Next Level Racing designed the Flight Simulator Seat 2.0 specifically for flight rather than repurposing a racing seat. It combines 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, and combat flight simulation.
Purpose-built for flight simulation, delivering pilot ergonomics and stability.
Designed for extended flights where posture, back support, and arm positioning become increasingly important.
Suitable for airliner, general aviation, and combat flight 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.
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 structure and a double-recliner system for rigidity under demanding control inputs. A rear storage pocket keeps checklists, cables, manuals, or small accessories within reach.
Designed to reduce unwanted movement during demanding control inputs.
Next Level Racing states the double recliner system provides enhanced rigidity.
Keeps simulator accessories, checklists, and small peripherals organized.
