QS-220

Hardware

Patent pending technology of QS-L1 linear actuators from Qubic System Performance Line allows to develop highly realistic applications with detailed effects from simulation telemetry. Motor drivers have been designed by Motion Systems company to do just one job, to control the motors in vehicle simulator applications, and they rock!

Included power cabinet (control module) QS-SB2 is responsible for the power distribution and communication to handle telemetry signal processing where motion controller dispatches the commands to drivers which parse the incoming command as soon as the command arrives. Control module sets the motion and vibration cues for each single actuator. The driver works with both 115V and 230V power network without any adapters or voltage converters.

Software

Even the most advanced hardware is nothing without a good software. Qubic Manager by Motion Systems company is professional and specialized software for the platform and is "click and play" compatible with all major racing and flight titles on PC and constantly updated to support new applications as they are released. Gives the user possibilities of motion adjustments, motion post-processing, extensive diagnostic or easy and fast use of predefined profiles. The Qubic Manager is a powerful engine, yet being simple to use. You can adjust levels of motion, the intensity of bumps, roll and pitch and more with a click of a button. Qubic Manager software license is free-of-charge.

Few main features:

Delivers world-class advanced motion cueing algorithms with integrated "washout filters" to reflect the situation from virtual environment, closing the gap between simulation and reality.

Most popular, already integrated and supported racing and flight games and professional simulation applications.

Included VR Headway technology uses advanced mathematic formulas to calculate necessary compensation and applies it to the VR headset at runtime. It eliminates platform movements from the VR tracking system causing your experiences to be more immersive, authentic and has huge impact on VR sickness compensation.

The motor control algorithm has been developed to be used strictly in simulation application. The positioning signal is analyzed and preprocessed directly by the driver, so it is possible to change all driver parameters at basically zero cost (time). Drivers parse the incoming command as soon as the command arrives. It also allows to append different types of vibrations (per actuator) on driver level.

Motion sickness compensation thanks to telemetry data provided in real time directly by the game’s engine and immediately injected to the hardware to perform.

Equipped with Tactile Audio Based Feedback System that can use tactile trans-ducers connected to sound card to generate additional effects on your cockpit.

Thanks to having full control of the technology Motion Systems company can change control algorithm source code, introduce new parameters and features without waiting for 3rd party vendors. Simple software update can introduce new features to the customers.

Motion SDK (FSMI or FSDI) for software developers is also available as an extra option. That powerful interface allows to add a motion platforms support to any application or game.
