Flight sim cockpits and seats compared (2026)
Flight sim cockpits and seats with mounts for sticks, throttles, yokes and rudder pedals.
A cockpit is the one purchase that needs a tape measure before a credit card. HOTAS pilots who want to keep their desk should look at the Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro at $699, which rolls up to it on castor wheels; yoke pilots at the Next Level Racing Flight Simulator at $799, which lists a yoke among its supported controls. And check whether the seat is included: on the F-GT Elite with the Elite Flight Pack, it isn't.
