Flight Simulator Pro Cockpit - Pros, Cons and Fixes after 6 months

[@jimrobinson703]

Great review. I use the this rig for flight simming and have also made changes to accommodate different equipment. One thing you said is inaccurate though. You can contact Next Level Racing and purchase separate pieces of equipment. I recently added a couple of different mounting plates and mounts to mount my F-18 throttle on for quick change ability from my F-16 throttle. Long story short you can get whatever part you want separately. Just email them and send them a picture of the part you want.

Really? Is that on their website anywhere? If so, I must have missed it. That's good to know though. It would be good if it was available through their list of sellers but I imagine there's probably an efficiency of scale issue.

great review.. i agree the seat is not very comfortable. i bought this flight rig only for flightsimming. and ... in June 24 i got the motion plus unit ( 3000 €) and i am very happy with it. I only need the roll effect ( 20 degrees to both sides) and it is very well simulated in DCS esp. To my surprise there exists a FFB effect when rolling, stall etc and when shooting the guns. therefore i do not need the upcoming FFB-flightsticks. This shooting effects only work in DCS , not in IL 2 or Cliffs of Dover unfortunately. The software is very easy to install and works flawless.

Thanks. I really want the motion plus module but I'm going to have to have to save up for a bit.

This was really cool mate, like the idea of the push away and hide away features you did and the concept for the joystick, especially if someone has mobility issues moving it completely would be good. Shame about the comfort, that is king when in it as long as people would be.

[@flightsoficarus]

Thanks. The comfort issue can be resolved but when you spend this much on a chair, it really should be comfortable out of the box. Still I've no regrets, there are just a couple of things I think could be better.

Yes the Seat is so bad. I'm going to do the same thing you did. I am using a seat cushion now but yeah extra memory foam would help.

[@flightsoficarus]

It's a shame. When they're charging that much money for a seat they could put more thought into making it comfortable. Otherwise though, I'm pretty happy with it.
