Traction Plus is truly a world-class product designed to finally close the gap between track/asphalt and simulation with a product and experience unlike any other motion simulator before it.
The idea and slip technology have previously only been seen in professional high-level racing teams, often with budgets of hundreds of thousands of dollars or in many cases over millions of dollars. Traction Plus was designed and developed in collaboration with a world-class motion engineering team to deliver an unparalleled motion experience.
To achieve ultimate realism and accuracy, completely unique technology and engineering were required with a product designed from the ground up for over 4 years and including over 2000 components. The platform has been designed and developed exclusively for simulation and not just for use with commercial actuators and adaptation to simulation.
Traction Plus is incredibly more than just a rear loss of grip system and is designed to be combined with the V3 motion platform to provide a groundbreaking motion simulation experience.
Racing
Traction Plus moves the entire cockpit and offers both understeer and oversteer in the most realistic and accurate way possible. Based on feedback from professional drivers during product development, the understeer element of a motion platform, which is usually found only in 6DOF systems, is absolutely critical for accurate and precise vehicle simulation.
With the sensation of both understeer and oversteer, the platform can be effectively used for driver/racer training, especially for cornering and rally, feeling what is happening both at the rear and front of the vehicle. Even the differences between rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles can be felt with the precise feedback provided through the Traction Plus platform.
The V3 motion platform and Traction Plus combine to provide accurate vehicle feedback for front wheel lock-up, meaning you will feel the vibrations as well as the front of the vehicle sliding out of the corner when excessive brake pressure is applied. (This also applies to rear wheel lock-up depending on the vehicle’s predisposition)
Traction Plus combined with the Next Level Racing® Motion Platform V3 provides incredible levels of vehicle feedback to the driver, allowing them to feel exactly what the vehicle is doing, accurately delivering
