Verdict for MSFS
The Marada Flight Sim Chair suits simmers who fly MSFS with a stick and throttle, since the control arms are built onto the seat and move with it as you recline. The trade-off is pedals: there's no pedal plate, so rudder pedals sit loose on the floor.

Pros & Cons for MSFS
Strengths
- The arms hold a stick and a throttle or quadrant at your sides and move with the seat, so when you drop the backrest for a long cruise your hands stay exactly where you left them.
- Height, reach and recline all adjust, and the seat is included with a back that reclines, so you can set the stick where your forearm rests and then lean back for the quiet part of the flight.
- The casters lock, so when you stamp on rudder pedals to straighten up in a crosswind landing the chair doesn't roll away from you, and the metal frame carries a stated 300 lb user-weight rating.
Trade-offs
- No pedal plate, so rudder pedals live on the carpet and will creep forward under hard braking unless you put a mat under them.
- You get a place for a stick and a throttle and nothing more, so a yoke user, or anyone who wants the pedals held in place too, is looking at the next step up in price for a full cockpit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it a good place to fly MSFS?
Yes, if you fly MSFS 2024 with a stick and throttle rather than a yoke, and it scores 72.3/100 for the sim on our scale. It shines on long legs, where the arms and the reclining back let you sit back without losing your grip position. It shows its limits the moment pedals or a yoke come into the picture, because there's no plate or yoke mount for them.
Is it worth the price for MSFS?
For the money you're buying the seat and the control arms together, which is more than a stand you pull up to the chair you already own and less than a cockpit frame that holds every control at once. If you already have a chair you like, a plain stand saves you money; if you want one piece of furniture that does both, this is the sensible middle.
Which controls fit on it?
It has a place for a stick and a throttle or quadrant, and Marada lists Thrustmaster sticks and HOTAS (a hands- on-throttle-and-stick pair), the Logitech X56 and X52 and the HOTAS Warthog. Check the maker's own list of supported controls before you buy, because mounting holes differ from brand to brand.
How much room does it need?
It takes about a chair's footprint, so it lives where your desk chair lives rather than needing a corner of its own. The maker doesn't say it folds, so plan on leaving it set up between sessions rather than packing it away.
What else do I need with it?
You need the controls themselves, a stick and a throttle or quadrant, plus rudder pedals if you want your feet in the loop. Put a mat under the pedals so they don't slide on a hard floor, and route the cables along the frame so they don't snag when you raise or recline the seat.
