3.0 out of 5 stars Flight seat, November 20, 2010

The seat is very sturdy and should last for a long time. I have some concerns that I didn't like. 1. No vertical adjustment for the chair. I had to build a platform with casters to get the right level and mobility. 2. The center slide out platform has to be removed to get out of the chair everytime you get up. 3. The seat was not as comfortable as I thought it would be. 3. Too expensive for what you get.

I got this a bit skeptical as i had the go-kart seat based Mushaburui low-rider seat in the past, with severe back and neck pain due to having to spend time almost curled up in the fetal position.

Now, the Playseats features a Recaro-like race seat and 2-D adjustable side plates, and a very wisely designed center plate made of beefy plastic and metal base plate. The sturdy redundant center plate allows for customization. I installed a keyboard holder in front of it.

The side plates have hole patterns that match X-52Pro throttle's, but extra drilling was required due to one of the holes laying over the support.

The left plate has an extra hole that allowed me to install a backlit keymap holder.

Of course power supply and powered 10 port USB hub a must.

I have the whole setup on a 24x46 diamond plate on funrniture sliders, so i can just put it in the corner when we want to use our 110" 24p projection system for movies.

Wop, RoF, DCS:BS, IL-2 here i come!

Everything is nice and tight, my X-52Pro/pedals and TrackIT setup look like they were made for it. One word of caution, resist the temptation to install TrackIR on the rig or base plate if you decide you need one, the problem is vibration into the TiR sensors.

Thank you Playseats! I had to use lock washers through and through to make the rig shock proof, i am one of those fidgety PC aviators, and weigh 250 lbs.
