Motion Simulators

A motion simulator is a system that replicates real-world movement—like acceleration, braking, turning, or turbulence—in sync with your game or simulator. It adds physical motion to your setup so you feel what’s happening on screen, not just see it.

You don’t need one, but once you’ve tried a motion simulator, it’s hard to go back. It adds a whole new layer of realism and immersion that takes your experience from fun to unforgettable—especially if you love racing or flying.

That depends on the system. Some offer 2DOF (Degrees of Freedom), which usually means pitch and roll. Others offer 3DOF or more up to 6DOF), adding yaw, heave, and surge for a full-body experience that mimics real movement with surprising accuracy.

Yes, many systems are versatile enough to handle both. You can configure your rig to switch between a racing setup and a flight cockpit using swappable hardware and adjustable mounts. It's like having two rigs in one.

Most high-end motion systems are designed to be user-friendly. Many offer plug-and-play setup, with simple software integration and detailed instructions. Some might take a bit more tinkering, but once it’s in place, it’s smooth sailing.

Motion systems don’t require much more room than a standard racing or flight rig, but you’ll want a bit of clearance for movement. Plan for around 1.5 to 2.5 metres of space depending on your seat, platform, and peripherals.

In many cases, yes. Motion platforms like those from Sigma Integrale can often be added underneath an existing cockpit. Just make sure your current rig is compatible or modifiable, and check the manufacturer’s compatibility guidelines.

Absolutely—when used correctly. These systems are designed with safety in mind, featuring smooth motion ranges, secure mounting, and weight limits. Just follow the setup instructions, strap in, and you’re good to go.

Not all games support motion feedback, but many top-tier sims do. Think iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and DCS World. Compatibility depends on the software and the motion system you choose, so it’s worth checking beforehand.
