Next Level Racing Flight Simulator Cockpit: Boeing Commercial Edition (NLR-S027)

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.

Little on the expensive side and bit bulky, but fits all my flight needs.. sturdy and easy to put together alone

This is a great flight sim rig, super comfortable it is the perfect set up, please not that If you plan to get or use the Honey Comb Charley Rudder it will not fit as the base of the rudder is massive and way out of the rigs base so you can’t bold down the pedals to the rig.

The media could not be loaded. 1. It’s a see you next Tuesday to assemble. 2. There’s nothing universal about it, aside from moving the pieces around. Velocity One flight stick, even though it has “optional attachment” does not sit flush or sturdy whatsoever. Very flimsy feel when pulling on yoke using the built in bolts… btw, it sits far to the right.. not center at all. NO SCREW HOLES EVEN LINE UP!!. Maybe if the main plate could be turned sideways, it might work but it does not. Only one way to assemble it. 3. The side table is very flimsy when bravo and keyboard piece are attached. 4. Zero room to add additional attachments for those who fly Airbus and Boeing (TM Airbus quad and honeycomb bravo). It’s one or the other… decide which you like more. For $750, I expected so much more. THE ONLY THING YOU'RE PAYING FOR IS BOEING PRINTED ON THE SIDE. Do yourself a favor and buy that $300 model from the other brand because this one is not cutting it. It may work for basic flight stick users but having an advanced setup, this thing sucks. Lucky enough for the seller, it’s too much pain in the butt to take it apart and ship this thing back so I guess I’m stuck with it and out $750.

Love this commercial level cockpit so much. I still remember my wife’s face when that huge box arrived on our doorstep. “wow.” She said. “Where will you put that?” Seriously, this this will take up some room so have your space prepared. The cockpit comes with floor stoppers that screw into the bottom however you could just as easily trade those out for 6 heavy duty locking caster wheels (not included). That way it could roam in and out of the way if the only space you have is in your living room… or if your wife kicked you and it out of the house.The chair is very customizable. So much so that I recommend reading the directions entirely before putting it together so you fully understand your options. The pictures on the site don’t do the customizability justice. I found building took a lot of time in disassembly just because I opened the next page and discovered more options which also gave me wife time to consider her options.I’ll be honest, my intention with getting this chair is to get the motion expansion pieces made by this same company. When I showed my wife how much that stuff cost I think… I think that’s when my stuff started flying out the window…. But I’ll tell you what I told her. This is a small investment now so I can have a bigger home motion set up later. Didn’t help me but maybe it helps you. If you’re not interested in expanding into the motion side of things then this is still a great chair but this may not necessarily be your best option. If you are interested in getting some motion, this is 100% the cheapest* pathway to it. *Divorce may increase initial cost. Seek financial or marriage counselor for your options.*The whole chair is pretty comfortable. It has to be since I sleep in it now. It even reclines and moves back and forth like a real car or airplane. Unfortunately it doesn’t recline all the way flat so if you want to sleep in it, you’ll have to be okay with sitting up somewhat.I’ll take some pictures of my set up as soon as the judge tells her she has to let me back in. Maybe the garage. But the summary of my set up is as follows:I clamped a dual monitor panel made by Flight Velocity (FVPRO4) along with a honeycomb alpha and bravo to the space in front of the chair . This is a lottttt of weight. With the panel, monitors, cables, and both sets of flights controls this was way more weight than they had in mind for a single. Yet, it still works pretty well and is sturdy. This really isn’t how they ‘intended’ this product be used but is a testament to the cockpit’s versatility. I also use my TPR Expert Rudder pedals which screwed into the base easily.I’m taking off one star because a single screw was missing from where the chair back is screwed into the base. This screw also manages to elude the hardware store so, as you can imagine, the majority of my life’s problems are centered around that right now.All in all, a great buy and I do appreciate that it’s cheaper than the $1100 version by the same company. Maybe that’ll get her to take me back.
