SimCraft STAR

Two Degrees of Freedom

(up to 40° of roll / 20° of pitch)

STAR :: Some Time and Assembly Required :: SimCraft’s core motion technology is now the most affordable option for anyone seeking a military grade, full motion experience for flight and racing simulation. Analogous to buying the motor and building your own car or plane, STAR is the SimCraft engine that drives the most realistic ZERO latency motion simulator.

The STAR development kit contains the same motion control technology used in the APEX sc830 motorsport simulator. Build your chassis from one of SimCraft's various free plan options, order a bolt-together kit, or design your own within the SimCraft architecture specification.
