Official Microsoft Flight Simulator Cockpit Revealed by Next Level Racing
Giuseppe Nelva
Next Level Racing just revealed an officially licensed flight simulation cockpit for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and MSFS 2020.
The hardware, which will be available this month at major retailers globally, is priced at 999 USD in the United States ($799 outside of the US), €899 (VAT included) in Europe, £799 (VAT included) in the UK, $1,299 AUD in Australia, and ¥135,000 in Japan.
It’s worth mentioning that, while it’s officially licensed by Microsoft, it’s obviously platform agnostic and can be used with any flight simulator (and likely racing simulators as well, or any simulator that puts you in any sort of cockpit).
So if you’re into X-Plane, Star Citizen, DCS World, P3D, or whatever fulfills your simulation needs, this should still work nicely.
Here’s an official list of features that you can expect.
Officially licensed by Microsoft Flight Simulator – Developed in collaboration with Microsoft Flight Simulator for unparalleled authenticity and immersion.
All-new ergonomic flight seat – Features premium PU leather, enhanced padding, and an industry-first integrated lumbar support system for long-haul comfort.
Built for all flight disciplines – Perfect for commercial, general aviation, combat, and space simulation.
Highly adjustable and modular design – Customizable for different body types and setups, with adjustable height, angle, and distance.
Universal compatibility – Supports major yokes, throttles, and joystick peripherals with dedicated mounting patterns.
Reinforced frame for durability – Engineered for stability and precision across intense sessions.
Next Level Racing ecosystem ready – Seamless integration with Next Level Racing accessories.
Future-proofed for evolving sim setups – Designed to adapt as your flight rig grows.
Below, you can check out a trailer and an instructional video showing the product. Of course, the flight peripherals are not included. All you get is the structure, the chair, and the supports.
The announcement came with a statement from Hess Ghah, CEO of Next Level Racing.
