From MSE Simulation comes something very interesting for those of you wanting to spice up their racing cockpit. The 3 axis motion system adds a lot of immersion to sim racing, letting you feel the movements of your car.
The system can be hooked up to the PC as well as gaming consoles like the Xbox360 or Playstation 3. The massive steel version weighs over 230 kilos and can carry up to 1000 kilos of payload. It can be seen at work below, hosting a Playseat setup using rFactor.

WARNING – SIMMOTION / CIM/ MSESIMULATION
Hello all
I don’t do this lightly but I must post a warning of my experiences over nearly 2 years with the purchase of a 3 axis motion base from Cockpit in Motion of the Netherlands, run by Mr Kay Hunze. As you can imagine this cost quite a lot of money.
The product was very, very late in arriving and then would not work. I was returned to Hunze/CIM to be rebuilt and they have had it for nearly 5 months with only lame excuses. Once they received my money their communication was dreadful…they refuse to talk on the phone and only email after repeated messages.
In the meanwhile CIM has morphed in Simmotion and I also note another company called MSESimulation whose products bear an uncanny resemblance to Simmotions….Mr Hunze denied any connection but I found out the website was registered in his name! So I will let you draw your own conclusions.
I am in touch with another CIM/Simmotion customer who has also paid for a motion base a long time ago and received nothing but excuses.
Please, please be very careful with anything to do with Cockpit in Motion, Simmotion (and possibly MSESimulation) and Mr Kay Hunze.
They have taken my money and now my property (my returned base) and have nothing to show for it. If you are in any doubt about dealing with these companies or individuals please get in touch.
Please do not be so trusting as I was as unfortunately there are people out there who make promises they can’t deliver and who should not be in business. Do not trust Mr Hunze with 1c of your money!
Please spread the word on these guys to protect others from being conned.
