Services Included
All SimCraft GRID1 units are priced to include full assembly and factory testing where applicable, but additionally the training of the driver (or drivers) on the operation of the system, and follow-on product support for 2 years.
Training
Training is always included in the pricing for all SimCraft systems. Our installation team is prepared to train you on everything from general usage of the sim, operation of the simulation software (such as iRacing.com), usage of the SimCraft Control Panel, supporting software applications, and even generic WindowsOS usage. The time required for training is based on our clients existing operational knowledge of the system. For example, clients already familiar with iRacing (or supplied application software) and the WindowsOS will require much less time for training. Clients with no WindowsOS or iRacing knowledge will take several hours longer. Plan for a half day of training, with additional time for each addon application.

Crating / Shipping
Crating of your SimCraft is included in GRID1 product pricing, shipping fees are assessed by distance from our factory in Marietta, GA. All systems ship from, or are picked up at this location.
Delivery / Installation
All SimCraft GRID1 units are designed for installation, almost anywhere, and fit through a 32″ door (without monitors). Modular design allows any GRID1 unit to be disassembled and reassembled in a few hours, (if required) 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 can be installed there. A 32″ door and 36″ hallways are usually required. If you aren’t sure if your ideal spot will work, give us a call or setup a consultation.
Your SimCraft will be shipped LTL. If you plan to receive the crate at your residence or a location without a loading dock, we will ship the GRID1 on a truck with a liftgate. The GRID1 is built on a steel pallet, making it very easy to move with a pallet jack.
All complete SimCraft units are built 100% in our factory and burned-in, validating the configuration and setup. When crated and shipped, the monitors are removed prior to shipment and re-boxed in their original packaging. Once the sim arrives and is removed from its crate, remounting of the side screens is required, taking just a few minutes of time.
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.
Shipping outside the Continental USA
SimCraft units have been shipped to and installed in over 20 countries worldwide. We can issue quotes on demand for shipping to most countries, once we know the installation address.

Motion Simulator Spec
SimCraft manufacturers high-fidelity racing simulators that incorporate our 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: Yaw
| Yaw | 40° | (+/- 20°) | Rotation around the vertical axis | |||
Max Rotational Speed: 60 °/s
Max Rotational Acceleration: 2400 °/s²
Max Linear Speed: 0.67 f/s (.204 m/s)
Max Linear Acceleration: 26.8 f/s² (8.19 m/s²)
Max Heave Speed: 1.5 f/s (.48 m/s)
Max Linear Acceleration: 60 f/s² (18.29 m/s²)
Max Payload: 600lb (272kg)
Axis Alignment: Mutually Perpendicular
Synchronization: Simultaneous and Independent Axis Control
Position Resolution: .002° (Accuracy)
Repeatability: .02° | 0.00035 rad
Interpretive Interval: < 1ms (Latency)

Installation Preparation
SimCraft has 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 10A circuit for 110/120V supply power is suggested for the GRID1. (5A 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
GRID1 systems are built on easy to move pallets, and 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.
Conditioned Air
While all SimCraft 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.
