    Hi, kings of DIY simulators !

    I've the pleasure to introduce Ninesport society.

    This society selling high-end simulators, for serious demanding customers.

    They started with golf simulator, and now just start with motorsport.

    With its combination of Fluidic Muscles and mechatronic systems, makes it possible to generate a wide range of driving and flight simulations.
    A hexapod structure based on parallel movements, with six Festo Fluidic Muscles, give rise to a realistic driving and smoothing sensation.

    Through this product, Ninesport is providing an exciting, cost-effective alternative to complicated hydraulic constructions.

    It work with GTR, GTR-2, GTR-evo, LFS, RBR, GTL

    It's really easy to setup your own configurations, because all games got there own profiles.

    I've tested many simulators, but the fluidic muscle simulator is upside all with is 6DOF.

    You got a real feeling of tyres, it's so awesome that you can feel the sidewall height deformation with good simulators softwares.

    Thanks for sharing Antonie!

    Very creative idea using air muscles and turning the platform upside down.

    My questions are:
    What do you mean by cost-effective alternative? Compared to a $100.000 hydraulic system?
    I couldn't find prices listed on the site.

    What is the maximum load on the platform? Judging by the design it is intended for only a seat and driver with a stationary screen.

    Are those muscles able to push as well as pull like hydraulics? I have played with a few of them and neither could push by creating a vacuum.

    :cheers:

    Hi Frakk

    The price of this simulator is 40.000 H.T, due the festo muscles and other hardware.

    Maximum weight is 150kg for a good feeling.

    Of Course muscles could pull and push, it could deformate sideways too.

    It can be customised with other wheels and pedals too.

    Thanks for your interest.
