NLR Boeing military simulator seat

[SvAF/F16_Goblin]

Just want to give my view on my new simulator seat that I bought to replace my home built "wooden wonder" after many years of use.

I was impressed with the images and initial reviews of the NLR Boeing military edition that I could find and decided to order one.
Since I live in Sweden both initial price and shipping cost cannot be called cheap in any way ? however I was betting on the quality matching cost.

 

I will not make a long assembly review since there is those to be found on YouTube.
The package is LARGE and HEAVY though so it's definitely a two man job to haul it to where the build will take place.

The manual is excellent, the quality and finish equally great so I was not disappointed at all with this.
Assembly takes about 4 hours and then be prepared to fiddle for a couple of days in order to find the best location for Your accessories.
It is NOT made for changing mounting places very often, measure twice mount once! That is my recommendation ?

The assembled seat is sturdy, comfortable (I'm 175 cm above sea level) and the adjustment possibilities are great, at least for my accessories.

 

Two thing that is slightly negative are:
1. In order to get the VPC CM2 base and handle with a 200mm extension to fit I had to fabricate an adapter and drill some holes in the one that came with the seat to mount it. It works great but requires some tools and time.
2. In order to mount the MFG pedals I had to drill holes in the pedal-plate since the mounting holes existing did not fit.

All in all for me two minor inconveniences.

 

I highly recommend this seat, both for quality, adjustment possibilities and comfort.

Cannot say that I am all that impressed with NLR quality when it comes to seat covering or build quality....

I have the GT Track seat and have numerous area's of peeling vinyl after about 14 months of ownership.

Have resorted to using Gaffer Tape to do some repairs but now the seat is peeling in the area's next to the Gaffer Tape repairs.

Some peeling area's are high wear area's and others i.e. up near the left shoulder when seated are inexplicable and have no body contact when seated. 

Also had some of the wire frame in the seat base poke through the vinyl and punch holes in it. This has happened in two different locations on the seat base cushion.

All in all not a great recommendation for NLR products. Would not buy from them again.
