Vehicle True Q™ Dynamic Motion Seats for Simulators [ Patent Pending ]
The ACME True Q™ Dynamic Motion Seat (DMS) is
a cost effective method of providing motion cues to a pilot
or other vehicle operator. The dynamic seat adds inertial cues
experienced in the operational system, whether its an aircraft,
ground vehicle or other platform. Motion cues enhance the immersive
experience of simulation, enabling better training and operator
experience. The Dynamic Motion
Seat delivers state-of-the-art performance providing vibration
and motion cues in five independent
axes of control, giving you a full 6 DOF system. It uses three directions of movement
- vertical, longitudinal, and lateral plus it has differential
surge that combines with sway motion to replicate roll.
Vehicle Simulation Training Value
The ACME True Q™Dynamic Motion Seats (DMS) set a new standard of value in the simulation world. The Vehicle DMS provides a motion training solution with the highest value including simulated feel of:
- Vehicle pitch, roll, and yaw
- Sudden bump or vehicle problems
- Roadway rumble,
road expansion joint bumps, hazards
- Vehicle malfunctions
such as tire blowout or
engine hesitations
- Gunfire
vibrations, weapons fly-out
- Obstruction impacts
- Wheel and road vibrations
- Turning and stopping cues
- Water and wave effects
- Dock
bumping and humping effects

Vehicles Supported by the ACME True Q™ Dynamic Motion Seat

US
Army M1 Tank: The M1 Abrams is the main battle tank produced in the United States. It is a well armed, heavily armored, and highly mobile tank designed for modern armored ground warfare. Notable features of the M1 Abrams include the use of a powerful gas turbine engine, the adoption of sophisticated composite armor, and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety. It is one of the heaviest tanks in service, weighing in at close to 70 short tons. |

High speed Rail/Trains: High-speed rail is a type of passenger rail transport that operates significantly faster than the normal speed of rail traffic. Specific definitions include 200 km/hr (125 mph) and faster — depending on whether the track is upgraded or new — by the European Union, and above 90 mph (145 km/hr) by the United States Federal Railroad Administration, but there is no single standard, and lower speeds can be required by local constraints. |

Army Stryker Light Armored Vehicle: The IAV Stryker, produced by General Dynamics Land Systems, is a family of eight-wheeled all-wheel-drive armored combat vehicles in use by the United States Army. Based on the Canadian LAV III light-armored vehicle, which in turn is based on the Swiss MOWAG Piranha III 8x8, the Stryker is the Army's first new armored vehicle since the M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle in the 1980s. |

Riverine Boats & Seacraft: Sea power does not stop at the hostile coastline. Operations on or projected from inland waters have come to be called "riverine warfare." Here fighting craft, tailored as necessary to the environment, bring combined operations the unique advantages of Power based afloat--greater mobility, ease of concentration, swift shift of objectives, speed, flexibility, versatility, and surprise. |
|
 |
Military HUMVEE: The High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV or Humvee) is a military 4WD motor vehicle built by AM General. It has largely supplanted the roles formerly served by the other light trucks with the United States military, as well as being used by a number of other countries. |
|
 |
Hovercraft: A hovercraft, or air-cushion vehicle (ACV), is a craft, designed to travel over any smooth surface supported by a cushion of slow moving, high-pressure air, ejected downwards against the surface below, and contained within a "skirt." Hovercraft are used throughout the world as a method of specialized transport where ever there is the need to travel over multiple types of surfaces. Small hovercraft are often used for sport or passenger service, while giant hovercraft have been built for civilian and military applications to transport cars, tanks, and large equipment into difficult or hostile environments and terrain. |
|
 |
Commercial and Military Trains: Various types of trains are designed for particular purposes. A train can consist of a combination of one or more locomotives and attached railroad cars, or a self-propelled multiple unit (or occasionally a single powered coach, called a railcar). Special kinds of trains running on correspondingly special 'railways' are atmospheric railways, monorails, high-speed railways, maglev, rubber-tired underground, funicular, and cog railways. |
|
 |
Tractor Trailers: A semi-trailer truck, also known as tractor-trailer or (in the United Kingdom and Ireland) articulated truck or articulated lorry, is an articulated truck or lorry consisting of a towing engine (tractor in the United States, prime mover in Australia, tractor unit in Ireland and truck in the UK, Canada and New Zealand), and a semi-trailer (plus possible additional trailers) that carries the freight. |

Formula 1 Racing: Formula racing is a term that refers to various forms of open-wheeled single-seater motor sport. The origin lies in the nomenclature that was adopted by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) for all of the post-World War II single seater regulations, or formulae. The best known of these formulae are Formula One, Formula Two, and Formula Three. Common usage of "formula racing" encompasses other single seater series, including the GP2 Series, which replaced Formula 3000. The ACME Dynamic Motion Seats can be used in simulators designed for training and entertainment. |
|
 |
Nascar Racing: The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of stock cars in the United States. The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the Sprint Cup, the Nationwide Series and the Camping World Truck Series. NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 39 states, Canada, and Mexico. ACME's Dynamic Motion Seats can be used in simulators designed for training and entertainment. |

US Army LETS Train Seat:
ACME delivered two Dynamic Motion Seats to the FT. Eustis facility on time and on budget. The systems include Army specifications, locomotive configurations, specialized cars, and more than 50 miles of simulated track and rail yards specifically designed for training and certification needs. The Army has ordered a long-term maintenance/support contract for the Ft. Eustis system. The Army’s Reserve component has ordered an additional training system for the operations headquartered at Ft. McCoy, WI. |
|
US Army Humvee:
ACME designed a Dynamic Motion Seat for use on the HUMMWV vehicle for Raydon Corporation. The seat has a 5 axis dynamic motion seat, simplified trainer interface to bolt to trainer frame and is made up of a HUMMWV form factor, integral lap seat belt, seat cushions to match the vehicle and mechanical seat position adjustment. |
