From 3DOF to Ultimate 6DOF Realism

After years of using 3DOF simulators, our customer sought a solution that could deliver true-to-life realism and precision. Extensive research led them to Motion Systems’ 6DOF platform—offering unmatched adjustability, power, and performance.

From the moment the platform arrived, the attention to detail and build quality exceeded expectations. The high payload capacity and use of motorsport-grade components ensured a driving experience that felt incredibly immersive and accurate.

One of the biggest concerns was aftersales support, given the distance between New Zealand and Poland. However, after several years of operating the QS platform, the customer describes our support as exceptional—one of the best they’ve ever experienced. Zero hardware issues, prompt responses, and solutions to every challenge.

This project showcases the power of a well-engineered motion system, delivering high-fidelity driver feedback and realism beyond expectations.

MOTION PLATFORM

QS-S25 motion platform is designed for customers looking for the most realistic simulation. The unique combination of professional motion technology and modern, adjustable accessories allows users to train and experience real flight or racing simulation.

The motion platform uses its 6 degrees of freedom (surge, sway, heave roll, pitch, and yaw) to feed precise motion inputs that very accurately represent key sensations such as understeer, traction loss, lateral g-force inputs, braking. Machine gives the best feeling of the track – bumps, curbs, gravel or grass. QS-S25 motion platform- advanced linear system is chosen also by militaries and universities as a training tool for various projects.
