It's the only true motion simulator in its price and size class, the only one capable of moving displays with the platform, the only one providing true g-force loads, and the only two-actuator system with effective surge and sway axes that outperform pro-level 6DOF systems.
The 202 is in a class of its own - at any price.
The 202 uses two actuators to deliver the performance of a large, multi-axis system. Here's how.
1
Near the center of travel, the two actuators working together provide vertical loads
2
At either end, both actuators working together move the platform forward and backward to directly cue acceleration...
3
...and simultaneously tilt the platform to cue sustained acceleration
4
At head level, left and right roll creates sustained g-force cues for your inner ear, while...
5
...at the seat of your pants, the high roll center creates an induced sway axis delivering instant lateral acceleration feel

Conventional platforms stack the motion system on top of the actuators, swinging your head around like a bucket on the end of a rope. The conventional wisdom says that too much motion is bad, but that’s because conventional platforms do motion badly. The 202’s roll center is at near-head-level, yielding clean, precise lateral g force cues with no unintended forces.
What’s more, the 202's layout means it drives like a multi-axis platform. The ultra-high roll center means you actually move left and right - an induced sway axis - when cornering left and right, and the strut geometry also drives an induced surge axis. You get more side-to-side and fore-aft motion in the “2DOF” 202 than in six-axis systems costing five times as much.
