Have recently got into racing sims (although flight simming is still more to my heart) and so have been reading up the different comunities the racing boys have and came accross this. Have never seen it mentioned here before so i taught i post it here.

 

Its from a company called frex and is called the Simconmotion, its a complete motion cockpit designed for racing car sims but i cant see any reason that t cant be made work for flight sim's, especially lockon Blackshark (helosim). Although i know that these have been available for a long time ive never seen one been sold at this price ( its in yen so goto http://www.x-rates.com to convert to your local cost). It is an expensive toy but for what your getting it seems reasonable.

 

Here link for the product

Here's a link to check price

This here is a review one of the members did on it (tested on racing sims).

Theres a few more reviews about if people wanna read them and it seems that anyone who has tried it is giving it great praise.

 

So up for discussion,

 

What ye all think.

FrexGP is fantastic for car simulation but according to its japanese inventor, he doesn't recommend it for flightsim it's just not covering the right motion..

Yeah i seen the Force Dynamics 301 solution but its price range is way way outside any commonfolks budget so i didn't delve to deep into it.

 

Fufunka, dont suppose you can recall where you seen him say that?

 

It might be tricky for an jet sim but i reckon helo would be good.

holy crap man,

 

That car needs new shocks. I've never seen a real car shock so violently, I think they need to go back to pit lane and fix the suspension ;)

 

PS: Not bad, but I much rather buy a sweet suspension setup for my real car.

FrexGP cockpits are selling like hotcakes now, the guy hangs out at the car sim forum in his own lobby, he mentioned it about the flighsims in one of the threads or ask him again:

 

FREX SimCon Motion:

Btw. the pricing is very good, less than two grands for a serious car motion platform is nothing in comparsion to available competition..

 

I don't know if these guys are for real but they promise Frex pricing for flightsims so let's hope someone will finally deliver:

http://simcraft.com/home.php

 

I'd rather now focus on cost effective immersive projection solutions for flight sims, which are now finally availalable, the motion platform will come one day.. Too bad that the innitially diy swedish g-force simulating suit is banned from disclosure..

hmmm never seen that simcraft place before, they say their product will be out in q1 this year so i'll defo be keeping on eye on them. Fingers crossed they'll come through.
