FSUIPC

As with many programmes accessing off the shelf flight simulations, Motion Drive utilises the excellent FSUIPC software developed by Peter Dowson. FSUIPC is not freeware, so you will need to purchase and register it if you do not already have it. This can be downloaded from the Peter Dowson website, www.schiratti.com/dowson.html.

If you already have FSUIPC installed in your flight simulation, you do not need an extra installation. Motion Drive 3.0 will work alongside other software accessing data from the simulation. Although you will be able to use Motion Drive 3.0 with FSUIPC version 2.96 onwards, we recommend that you use the latest valid version, which is fully supported by Peter Dowson.

 
 
 


Motion Software

Motion Drive 3.0 now available!!

Our motion base sofware, Motion Drive 3.0, is one fo the essential components you will need in building your motion base. We have developed this programme from our own original software specifically to suit those with their own motion simulation project. It is packed with features to allow a range of platform configurations. See below for full technical details. To see how software and hardware fit together, see our page on "Where is all fits".

  • USB connection to your PC
  • Will run two or three motion axes
  • Will run two, three or four platform drives
  • Will run unipolar or bipolar DAC modes
  • Supports platform sensors for up to 3 axes
  • Configured for full range of Microsoft FS and CFS series
  • New simulations can be added
  • Separate configuration for each flight sim package
  • Individually configurable planes for each simulation
  • Package includes two USB input/output modules
  • Full platform configuration instructions included
