Playseat® Air Force

Christmas came early! Seat is easy to assemble, read the instructions guys. There was a minor problem with a couple of plastic inserts, Amazon offered to replace the whole thing, brilliant customer service, but I swopped the two parts over, Sorted!. I'm 6' 4" in old money, it's too low for my desk & legs. Visit local lumber yard and put it up 10cm,. Now I can slide the stick (Amazon supplied Warthog) right to the bottom of the slide. I have the throttle on the left only. You do really do almost feel like in a jet, Been in Harriier & Tornado,squeezed past the leg length/bang seat medical. So turn the lights down, put the head tracker and really enjoy. It's comfortable, solid, well manufactured, everything fits like a glove. The seat back is very adjustable in forward backward line. Glad I got it.

Love:Seat comfortEasy to build (did on my own in an hour)Quality materialsDislike:The side plates are too low and not very adjustablePre drilled holes on the plates are not universal- using Velcro tape instead.Flight stick set up on centre console but is too high. Angle is wrongFor what it is, it’s an excellent purchase.If you’re a bit on the wider side, you won’t be comfortable in this. Narrow seat, which I like.

The manufacturer's website claims that this can be set up in ten minutes. TEN MINUTES? Maybe in a parallel dimension. This took hours to construct. The instructions are like some sort of logic test. You have to play great attention to tiny, tiny details to work out which items should be used and where. And it what order. It also doesn't help that the screws pictured are not always the ones which you should use. Which you only find out later in the when you realise that the one you previously used is actually the one you should be using now. Some of the bits are extremely fiddly and refuse to screw in. And the final attachment of the seat to the base is definitely a two-person job.This is all a shame because the seat is actually very good. It's solid. It doesn't have casters but can be slid around on carpet. The adjustability of the side mounts for joystick / throttle / gearstick is good. The bar which holds the piece onto which you connect a flight yoke or, in my case, a force-feedback wheel has very little flex (when tightened up properly). It's a little bit of a performance getting in and out of it but it's achievable (even with my slightly-impared mobility).FWIW, my Thrustmaster TX wheel base is compatible with the seat. I saw some reports online from people who have had to cut the wheel mount to make their wheel fit because of a plastic bar which sticks out under the wheel mount. I think it's the clamp on some wheels (maybe Logitech) is incompatible. The Thrustmaster's clamps on my wheel are *just* either side of the bar and that's OK on this seat.

is basically a sound product but not quite suitable for Flight Simulator work, as can be seen from the advert pichures the centre facility is too hight and cannoy be lowered . A joystick which when flying should be between the knees not level with the chest. I is a sturdy produck and the side tables are infinetly adjustable to suit multy throtals or 'Hotas' equipment.

when i came to put this seat together the parts appear to be wrong and the holes do not line up, this is quite a heavy seat, almost impossible to pack back in the box it came in and quite honestly i expect better than this for the money

I was a little nervous ordering it after reading so much negative feedback on here.The instructions are indeed very sparse and miss many crucial points, hence no doubt the problems others have faced.The side mounts for controllers for instance, are very firm, yet easily and cleverly adjustable when assembled perfectly, but easy to get wrong with the vague instructions. Their sliding "t-bar" design means that the clamping bolts have to be the perfect length, or they bottom out before tightening, or they do not have enough thread to bite into. When adjusted perfectly with additional washers, the grip very strongly. Also, the threaded bars that they screw into have a shallow concave shape one side, which prevent any rocking when put in the right way round.Also, the seat itself reclines as well as folds, a great advantage over other Playseats that I've tried.I mounted it on castors, which brings the seat height to just over 500mm, perfect for my screens.

Slider rails were broken and bent, the instructions are really REALLY bad and WRONG. Like, literally telling you to do the wrong thing that WILL break the seat.The seat itself is comfortable, but the platforms for the flight controls are screwed onto pretty flimsy outcrops so any quick or sudden adjustments on the joystick/thrust levers results in a slight bounce...most irritating.The middle platform for a joystick is really hard to get into its slot.I paid for this, and I'll use it, but I feel cheated. I'll be going for Next Level Racing next time, hands down.Pros:*Comfortable seat. Genuinely*Good range to adjust flight control platforms*Folding seat is a huge bonus for space savingCons:*Arrived damaged*Worst instructions ever, that are wrong, not unclear. WRONG. It literally was telling me to assemble it in such a way that would damage the seat (Seems like that's why it arrived damaged, I got returned goods by the looks of it)*Flimsy controller platform holders*Platform for middle stick not that good. Too close for a good height for a yoke, very bulky for a middle stick*Massively overpriced for the quality of the product

For a non Professional flying. This is awesome. Easy to set up and very versatile to switch from flight sim to Racing simulator in minutes.

Took gaming to a whole new level!

Der Sitz kam in Einzelteilen, aber der Zusammenbau war ein Kinderspiel. Die Verarbeitung ist ist gut. Alles passte auf Anhieb zusammen. Rückenlehne lässt sich sogar verstellen. Alles in allem ein super Sitz für den Flugsimulator.

Buen producto en cuanto a calidad de materiales y el montaje es bastante sencillo, sin embargo esperaba mejores acabados en ciertas partes como por ejemplo la capa de pintura y algunos bordes de la base del asiento, el asiento en sí es cómodo pero por un artículo de un precio tan elevado esperaba que al menos llevara refuerzos para zona lumbar y cuello como si traen otros asientos de estas características. Lo peor de todo es que las barras laterales para apoyar el joystick (yo uso un logitech X52 pro) son demasiados bajas a pesar de ser regulables y te obliguen a improvisar unas plantillas para que quede en una posición más ergonómica.

Es un producto de buena calidad, fácil de armar, necesario si tienes ya el volante y donde se puede sentir un realismo al jugar videojuegos de carreras, ya sea Forza, F1 o cualquier otro, cuatro estrellas porque le faltaría la base para los pedales, entregado muy bien en su caja, bien por Amazon, para seguirles comprando en el sitio, espero y les sirva mi reseña!
