    Has anyone ever put a seat mover on a motion platform? You could set the platform to mimic the banking and elevation changes of the track, and use the seatmover for acceleration/braking etc. Does this make any sense?

    A simforce gt must be balacend to work ,and stay balacend.
    You could put him upon a BRD 06 ,to get the idea.
    When the under platform goes unbalaced, you need stronger motors for the sim force gt.

    I reckon a combination of a foot motor mount and a shoulder mount or desk racer mount would do it. The foot motor mount acts as good leverage.

    My Motion Simulator:
    AC motor, Motion platform
    My seatmover sits on a surge and traction loss table and the seat has a heave module built in. So any combination is possible. It depends on what you are after, although some designs are easier to implement than others.

    I'm trying to figure out what the 'best' setup is, using fixed triple monitors. Does surge work with fixed monitors, or do they have to move with the seat to make the effect work?

    SeatTime Your setup looks really good, I just checked it out.
