SimXperience Stage IV Racing Simulator Kit Overview

The Stage IV Motion simulator is heavily focused on race driver training and realistic simulation. It has been designed from the ground up to ensure a no compromise simulation without requiring a second mortgage to obtain it. When compared feature by feature with any simulator in existence today, the Stage IV meets or exceeds the functionality of simulators costing as much as $40,000 USD.

Here's a quick feature list for comparison:

• Based On Olympic Training Principles
• Modular Design (Easily Bolt On Other Modules Such as a full dashboard or triple screen mounts)
• Structural Rigidity (Built From 2" Tube Steel) 
• Powder Coated Finish
• Excellent road surface perception via 250 actuator updates per second
• Dampening Bar (Prevents simulator jumping and movement)
• Inline Dampeners help to make motion more fluid.
• Industrial Grade Construction Suitable for Racing Centers and Frequent Use Scenarios.
• Completely customizable motion profiles can be custom tuned to represent any vehicle!
• Simulates vehicle weight transfer in addition to road texture and G-Forces
• Simulates Rear Traction Loss and Rear Wheel Hop (key components in driver training programs).
• Includes FREE SimXperience Commander Simulator Control Software which makes using your simulator as simple as a single button click.

The Stage Series of simulators is completely modular and available in five different packaes to best suit your budget. Additionally, nearly 20 bolt on options are planned for the Stage Series which helps to ensure that your investment is a wise one. The SimXperience Stage IV Racing Simulator is comprised of the following modules:

• Motion Seat Base
• Front End
• Rear Traction Loss Base
• SX-3000 Motion Control Adapter
• Three SCN5 150mm Actuators capable of 15.74 inches per second!
• Side Rails and Number Plate Panels (add rigidity)

 Our Motion Principles

SimXperience simulators create the ultimate immersion by employing a variety of techniques. First and foremost we manipulate your inner ear / sense of balance to create a sense of motion. We combine this with minute body pressure cues by creating just enough roll and pitch to utilize your body weight to create these pressures. Finally, we combine the the body pressure and sense of balance manipulation with kinesthesia (skeletal and muscle pressure manipulation).

Our simulators are designed to optimize the principles of kinesthesia and proprioception. This concept is often applied in advanced Olympic training programs.

The fact is that no simulator can provide the full G-Forces, torque, etc.. that an actual vehicle can, therefore a simulator must fool the brain into perceiving these effects in an immersive manner. We achieve this with the three concepts described above, emphasizing musle pressures.

The key to creating the properly scaled muscle pressures lies in the fact that we choose not to move the wheel and pedals, and only the occupant. You can easily see how under braking, for example, that we can apply the same pressure to the muscles in your wrist and forearms as would be applied in an actual vehicle. Simulators that attempt to move the entire cockpit (wheel included) could only create these pressures if they were able to create the exact same G-Forces as the real vehicle AND sustain them. Simple vibrating seat paddle simulators can create neither the muslce pressures or manipulate your sense of balance.

Our unique combination of these techniques results in one of the most advanced and immersive simulations available anywhere at any price.

However, it's not enough to simply create this immersion. The human brain will continually attempt to break the immersion by attempting to identify movements that are not to scale with real world movements or that were unexpected. We go to great lengths to ensure that each motion profile created meets a strict criteria that focuses on the reduction of these "negative motion cues". However, not everyone will be immersed by the exact same criteria and some tweaks to the motion profiles may be required to achieve near perfect immersion for a particular individual. The SimXperience Stage Series of simulators is based on our industry leading, low latency, parallel tasking Sim Commander 3 motion engine software. This software offers unbeatable ease of use, performance and immersion personalization.

Whats's Not Included

Unlike turnkey system, our modular systems do not limit your choices, however, you will need to provide some basic components in order to complete the Stage IV simulator.

• PC (Dual or Quad Core with a good graphics card)
• Steering Wheel, Pedal & Shifter Set (such as the Logitech G27)
• Racing Seat with mounting brackets
• Speakers
• ButtKicker (if desired)
• Monitor Mount (if desired, many customers mount flat panels to the wall in front of the simulator)

Long Term Investment

The SimXperience Stage Series's was designed to accept a plethora of bolt on options that are currently under development at SimXperience Labs or are ready for release. You can expect a variety of new and innovative bolt ons features such as a modular dashboard, floorboard options, G-Belt seat belt tensioning, full body kits and many more innovations that will help to ensure the longevity of your simulator investment.

Warranty & Support

The Stage Series of simulators is backed by a full 1 year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship including actuators and electronics.

Support is provided via email and public forums for installation issues and SimXperience Commander software related issues.

Game installation support is not included with your purchase and can be obtained on a per incident basis. Support contracts and service level agreements are also available for race teams.

Included Software

SimXperience Motion Simulation products ship with the Sim Commander Motion Simulation software. The Sim Commander features Install-N-Drive technology to making settings up the software portion of your simulator a simple 3 mnute task. See just how powerful, yet simple our motion simulator software is to configure.
