For standard lead-time orders we structure 2 payments, a 50% production deposit and a 50% balance payment. The balance payment is collected at the time of installation, or at the time of shipping for clients opting to install the sim themselves. Your quoted lead time begins on the day your 50% production deposit is received.
Long lead time clients make 3 payments: a 20% pre-production deposit, a 30% production payment, and a 50% balance payment. The 20% pre-production deposit locks in your product price and quoted lead time. The 30% production payment is collected 6 months before your quoted fulfillment lead time, and the 50% balance payment is collected upon order fulfillment either by way of installation or shipping.
It is not uncommon for our field and event teams to find time-sensitive clients ready to get their SimCraft APEX unit into production. We accept credit card deposits of $10,000 in these cases which allows our new client to enter our production queue, and begin the quoted lead-time. Under these circumstances, we will collect the remaining funds due toward the 50% production deposit within 10 business days.Payment Methods
Accepted payment methods include personal or business checks, electronic wire transfers, or ACH payments. All major credit cards can be used for up to $10,000 toward your 50% production deposit.
Delivery / Installation or Crating / Shipping
Delivery & Installation or Crating & Shipping of your SimCraft is included in APEX product pricing for clients within 800 miles of SimCraft HQ in Marietta, GA USA. All systems deploy, ship from, or are picked up at this location. We also deliver/install and crate/ship outside of this perimeter for an additional delivery fee.
Delivery / Installation
All SimCraft APEX units are designed for installation, almost anywhere. Modular design allows any APEX unit to be disassembled and reassembled in a few hours, which means if you have an interior room, a basement, a man cave, an office, or a spacious attic, there is a good chance your SimCraft APEX unit can be installed there. A 32″ door and 36″ hallways are usually required, but we have accommodated clients with restrictions. If you aren’t sure if your ideal spot will work, give us a call or setup a consultation. Installation services are provided worldwide.
For clients receiving delivery and installation services, we will use our own internal logistics resources for delivery of the unit, within 800 miles of our HQ. (reference pic below). For clients receiving installation services outside of the 800 mile perimeter, we use private carriers to deliver. You may be quoted an additional delivery fee to offset the cost of the private carrier for the delivery of your sim, while your installation team will coordinate their travel and arrival to time with the arrival of your sim by the private transport.Pickup
If you are a client that is picking up your sim from the factory, our staff will assist you with the preparation and execution of your load-up.
Crated Shipments, Installation by Client
Clients that are receiving a crated shipment and managing their own installation, your SimCraft will be shipped LTL. If you plan to receive a large crate at your residence or a location without a loading dock, we have a proven procedure to offload the sim from the delivery truck. All SimCraft units are built 100% in our factory and burned-in, validating the configuration and setup. When crated and shipped, both side screens (if applicable) are removed prior to shipment. Once the sim arrives and is removed from its crate, remounting of the side screens is required, taking just a few minutes of time. In these cases, we train you on operational and application usage remotely.
Delivery and Installation outside the Continental USA
SimCraft units have been shipped to and installed in over 20 countries worldwide. We build in expenses to our product pricing for shipping or installation within the continental United States, but can issue quotes on demand for installation or shipping to anywhere else, once we know the installation address.
Color Select & Add Ons
Chassis Colors
APEX units are powder coated and have seven standard chassis colors
We always recommend a textured black cockpit assembly (the inner most assembly for driver, seat, controls, etc.) as this coating is most durable for wear and tear.
Customized Chassis Colors (+ $3,000)
For our client with a specific color in mind, or for our clients looking to match a corporate color or historic livery, we offer thousands of powder coat colors for a customized look. Once your sim is in production, we will work directly with you to get the color or colors you desire for your SimCraft.

Motion Simulator Spec
APEX systems are complete high-fidelity racing simulators that incorporate SimCraft’s proprietary, physics based, motion simulator technology. Our method and proven philosophy is designed to recreate rigid body dynamics, more specifically, recreate how any rigid body (vehicles and aircraft) move through Earth physics. Rigid Body Dynamics has taught us that an object such as a car or a plane (both rigid bodies) rotate around three degrees of freedom, and translate along these same axes. The origin of all 6 possible motions is at the center of mass of the rigid body. The 6 degrees of freedom are also all independent from each other. SimCraft motion technology follows these same known principles. In a SimCraft motion simulator, all degrees of freedom are independent and additionally they all rotate or translate at the center of mass of the cockpit assembly (in this case, also a rigid body)
Degrees of Freedom: Roll, Pitch, Yaw, Surge, Sway, and Heave – All 6DOF, Full Motion
Roll | 50° | (+/- 25°) | Rotation around the logitudinal axis | |||
Pitch | 25° | (+/- 12.5°) | Rotation around the lateral axis | |||

Installation Preparation
SimCraft APEX units have been installed in residences, offices, garages, car condos, race shops, research facilities, rehabilitation centers, and academic institutions since 2009. We have seen it all and are intimately familiar with the right conditions for a perfect installation.
Power Requirements
A dedicated 20A circuit for 110/120V supply power is suggested for this unit. (10A at 220/240V supply)
Data
The data needs for your SimCraft are dictated by the application software you choose to use. Modern Wifi is generally sufficient for simulator data needs, but racing with online human competitors is better in a wired LAN. Bandwidth is not the only consideration however, reliability is also a factor. Wifi is generally stable from device interference, but wired LAN is always connected.
Flooring
APEX systems can be installed on carpet, rugs, or mats. If your desired location for your sim is tile, hardwood, concrete, or vinyl, you will need to consider a mat or a rug for the sim to live and operate on. We can supply basic matting upon request.
Conditioned Air
While all SimCraft APEX systems are built for reliability and durability, conditioned air for your sim installation location is a big consideration for the long term health of your sim. Stainless steel hardware is used through the unit, but surface rust is still possible for garage or warehouse installs with no conditioned air and in the wrong climate. More importantly, this is a system with lots of electronics and operating temperatures for the supplied electronic components is documented below.
