Thermaltake GF500 Flight Simulator Cockpit, Premium Aluminum Profile Rig, Fiberglass Bucket Seat, RGB Lighting, Universal Compatibility | GSC-F50-CPASBB-01

The Thermaltake GF500 Flight Simulator Cockpit is designed to bridge the gap between gaming and aviation. Built for the most demanding flight enthusiasts, this cockpit utilizes a "Fixed Frame" architecture made of premium aluminum alloy to eliminate flex. Whether you are navigating a commercial airliner or engaging in high-speed dogfights, the GF500 provides the solid foundation required for precise control and total immersion.

Ergonomic Fiberglass Bucket Seat

Comfort is critical for long-duration flights. The GF500 features a racing-inspired fiberglass bucket seat wrapped in a breathable cotton fabric cover. To ensure the perfect pilot posture, the seat is equipped with a 220mm gliding track to slide forward or backward, a 25mm height adjustment, and a tilt range of +6° to -6°. This allows pilots of all sizes to find their ideal ergonomic "sweet spot" to reduce fatigue during transcontinental journeys.

Universal Compatibility & Custom Adjustability

Customization is at the heart of the GF500. The rig features a multi-adjustable mounting system for yokes, joysticks, throttles, and pedals, allowing you to mimic the specific cockpit layout of your favorite aircraft. It is natively compatible with industry-leading flight hardware brands, including Thrustmaster®, Logitech, Saitek®, Honeycomb, Virtual Fly, and Crosswind. The steering/yoke panel tilts up to 25°, and the pedal plate offers four distinct tilt stages ($0^\circ, 7.5^\circ, 15^\circ, 25^\circ$) to match your natural leg angle.

Immersive Aesthetics and Cable Management

To complement your high-end PC setup, the GF500 features a built-in RGB LED lighting strip capable of 16.8 million colors across 20 different lighting modes. This adds a futuristic glow to your flight deck, perfect for night-flight simulations. Furthermore, the cockpit is designed with an integrated cable management system, keeping wires tucked away within the aluminum profiles for a clean, professional look that is free from trip hazards.

Why the Thermaltake GF500 Stands Out

Industrial Build Quality: Aluminum alloy and steel construction with a fine-texture powder coating.

Pilot-Centric Adjustments: Full control over seat position, pedal tilt, and joystick height.

Premium Visuals: Sand-blasted anodic oxidation finish on aluminum components for a sleek, matte look.

Universal Mounting: Pre-drilled holes to support nearly all major flight control peripherals.
