7 Things to Feel in an ACME Dynamic Motion Seat
1. Onset and Sustained G-Cues Generally, motion systems provide onset cues by movement. After a moment, the system ‘washes out’ as the actuator moves to neutral for the next cue. This works for onset cues, but not for sustained cues. Motion Seats can provide sustained...
Maybe a Motion Platform is Too Much?
To be honest, motion platforms for simulators can cost millions of dollars. Those long actuator legs are not cheap and must support, and move, a lot of weight. Often, the entire simulator with cockpit and the visual system are perched up on the platform. The simulator...
