What makes it
A seat designed for the cockpit, not the track.
Designed in Collaboration with Airbus
Trak Racer developed the FCS in partnership with Airbus, drawing on real aviation cockpit ergonomic principles to inform the seat's shape, posture support and control positioning, a design pedigree no generic sim seat can match.
Integrated HOTAS Cut-Out
The HOTAS cut-out positions your joystick and throttle where a real aircraft's controls sit, between your knees, instead of bolted to the outside of a racing seat. Essential for military cockpits, fighter jet simulation and tactical flight builds.
Recliner Lever, Quick Backrest Adjustment
A dedicated recliner lever allows rapid, tool-free adjustment of the backrest angle for different aircraft types, flying postures and pilot sizes, from an upright airliner position to a more reclined combat jet attitude.
High-Density Foam with Lumbar Cushion
Aviation-grade ergonomic cushioning with an integrated lumbar support cushion, designed to reduce fatigue during extended sessions, long-haul airline procedures, endurance combat sorties or all-day training programmes.
Premium PU Leather & Suede Finish
A refined cockpit aesthetic with durability and breathability in mind, PU leather outer surfaces with suede seat pad, suitable for both home sim rigs and shared commercial training environments.
Bonus Arm Rests Included
Arm rests are included as standard, supporting a natural, relaxed arm position during extended flying sessions and providing a stable platform for HOTAS throttle side controls.
Wide Cockpit Compatibility
Fits all Trak Racer simulator frames (TR160, TR120, TR80, TR8 Pro) and other T-slot cockpit systems, making the FCS a universal flight seat option for most serious home cockpit builds.
Optional Seat Sliders
Add optional seat sliders for fore/aft position adjustment, useful in shared training environments, multi-pilot setups, or when you need to fine-tune reach to throttle and stick controls.
The detail
Aviation ergonomics. Real cockpit feel.
Integrated HOTAS Cut-Out
Your Controls Where They Belong
MSFS 2024 · DCS World · IL-2 · Fighter Sim
Standard racing seats position your stick and throttle on external mounts bolted to the sides. The FCS integrates the HOTAS cut-out directly into the seat structure, placing your joystick and throttle between your knees, exactly where they sit in a real military aircraft. The difference in immersion and control naturalness is immediate. For F-16, F/A-18 and other military cockpit builds in DCS World, this is the defining feature.
- Integrated cut-out, joystick positioned between knees as in a real aircraft, not on an external side mount.
- Military sim optimised, F-16, F/A-18, A-10, Mirage and other DCS World aircraft.
- Commercial sim compatible, also works for yoke-based airliner setups when not using the cut-out.
Airbus Collaboration
Aviation Ergonomics. Informed by Real Aircraft.
Commercial Aviation · Pilot Training · Long-Haul Sessions
Trak Racer worked directly with Airbus to develop the FCS, drawing on real aircraft cockpit ergonomic data to inform the seat's shape and posture support. That collaboration means the seating geometry is grounded in how real pilots sit, not adapted from a motorsport template. The result is a seat that supports natural posture for long-haul airline procedure practice, helicopter simulation and general aviation flying.
- Airbus collaboration, designed with real aviation cockpit ergonomic input, not a racing seat repurposed for flight.
- High-density foam + lumbar cushion, built for extended sessions, not just quick flights.
- Recliner lever, tool-free backrest adjustment to suit different aircraft types and pilot sizes.
Cockpit Compatibility
Fits Trak Racer and T-Slot Cockpits
TR160 · TR120 · TR80 · TR8 Pro · Universal T-Slot
The FCS is compatible with every Trak Racer simulator frame and any other T-slot cockpit system, making it a genuine option for cockpit upgrades beyond the Trak Racer range. The included bracket set (in the Seat with Brackets variant) streamlines installation across all compatible frames.
- All Trak Racer frames, TR160, TR120, TR80S, TR8 Pro, direct fit.
- Universal T-slot, compatible with other T-slot cockpit systems.
- Optional sliders, add fore/aft adjustment for multi-pilot training setups.
Multi-Discipline
Commercial. Military. General Aviation.
Airliner Procedures · DCS World · Helicopter · GA
The FCS covers the full spectrum of flight simulation disciplines. The HOTAS cut-out serves military and advanced GA setups; the adjustable recline and lumbar support suit long-haul commercial airline procedures; and the universal seating geometry works for helicopter simulation and general aviation practice.
- Military, DCS World, IL-2, F-16/F-18/A-10 cockpit builds.
- Commercial, airliner procedure practice, A320/B737 sim setups.
- Helicopter & GA, natural upright posture for rotary and light aircraft.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
The FCS Seat
What does "designed in collaboration with Airbus" mean?
Trak Racer worked directly with Airbus to develop the FCS, drawing on real aircraft cockpit ergonomic data to inform the seat's shape, posture support and control positioning. This means the seating geometry reflects how real commercial and military pilots sit, not adapted from a motorsport template. It's one of the few sim seats that can genuinely claim aviation-industry input into its design.
Why does a flight sim seat need an integrated HOTAS cut-out?
In a real military aircraft, the joystick sits between your knees, not on an external side mount. Standard racing seats force you to mount HOTAS controls to the cockpit frame outside the seat, which puts your stick in an unnatural position relative to real aircraft geometry. The FCS's integrated cut-out places your joystick where it belongs, between your knees, dramatically improving immersion and control naturalness for military jet simulation in DCS World, IL-2 and similar titles. It also makes the build cleaner, with no protruding side mounts.
Is this seat specifically for flight simulation, or can I use it for racing sims too?
The FCS is designed specifically for flight simulation, its upright seating posture, HOTAS cut-out, recliner lever and lumbar support are all oriented toward aviation use cases. You can use it for casual racing sim sessions, but if your primary discipline is sim racing, the Trak Racer racing seat range (GT Pro, Rally-Pro) will be a better fit. If you do both, the FCS is a solid compromise, particularly for drivers who do a lot of truck simulation and open-world driving alongside flight sim.
Compatibility
What cockpits is the FCS compatible with?
The FCS is compatible with all Trak Racer simulator frames: TR160, TR120, TR80 and TR8 Pro. It's also compatible with other T-slot cockpit systems beyond Trak Racer. The Seat with Brackets variant includes the bracket set needed for direct installation on Trak Racer frames. For non-Trak Racer rigs, call us on 0488 385 870 to confirm fitment before ordering.
What's the difference between Seat Only and Seat with Brackets?
The Seat Only variant includes the FCS seat shell, padding and upholstery. Choose this if you already have seat brackets, a seat slider kit or a universal mount system already installed in your cockpit. The Seat with Brackets variant includes everything in Seat Only plus a mounting bracket set that fits directly onto Trak Racer frames and compatible T-slot cockpits, ready to bolt in without additional hardware.
Can I add seat sliders to adjust fore/aft position?
Yes, optional seat sliders are available separately and compatible with the FCS. This is useful for multi-pilot training environments where different users need to adjust their reach to the controls, or for home cockpits where you want to fine-tune your position relative to a yoke, stick or throttle quadrant.
