From the Playseat brand, which specializes in gaming chairs, a gaming seat "Playseat Air Force" specializing in flight simulators is now available. Sales will start from April 30th. A powder-coated steel tubular frame is used for the frame, allowing for intense play, heavy flight sticks, and slot attachment. In addition, side bolsters with ultra-high-density foam and high-quality synthetic leather allow you to comfortably play long-term games.
- High strength and rigidity to withstand intense playing
- Folding design for easy assembly and storage

- Compatible with major controllers on the market
- Synthetic black leather with high durability and stability
In addition, it can be folded even with various controllers attached, so it can be stored compactly when not in use. You can start using it as soon as you need it. The main body size is 500 mm in width, 980 mm in depth, 1,120 mm in height, and 24 kg in weight. The load capacity is 122 kg, and the product warranty is one year. I don't have a price just yet.

From the reviews I have read from various sites this product appears to be almost a good idea. It's definitely moving in the right direction but needs a bit more time in the oven so to speak. The QC appears to be somewhat lacking based on some reviews pointing out build quality issues. The adjustability is minimal and can require some DIY tweaking for overall height to desk (a common component) matching. And then there's the challenge of optimal positioning of joystick and throttle on each side platform. A video from NewEgg just shows it being assembled without any real commentary. Another video from Playseat only features a throttle and and yoke configuration without even mentioning a joystick. In this second video the throttle is so low it requires reaching down to operate. I think the company needs to consider a design that allows for a broader range of control location and configurations plus fine adjustment. For now I would rather build my own to be blunt.
