Three Degrees of Pure Adrenaline
The Thermaltake GM5 3DOF Motion System is a state-of-the-art motion platform engineered to inject real-time movement into racing and flight simulators. It features a central control unit paired with three precision motorised actuators that work in harmony to produce lifelike motion feedback. Designed to be mounted onto an existing cockpit or simulator rig, the system harnesses in-game physics to deliver three degrees of freedom—enabling tilting forward and backward (pitch), leaning side to side (roll), and vertical motion (heave). Picture yourself carving through high-speed corners or banking through the clouds, thundering down a straight or surging through the sky, the three degrees of freedom bring the sensation of movement to life—turning simulation into something that’s not just seen, but experienced.
Lightweight and Responsive
Despite its cutting-edge performance, the GM5 is remarkably lightweight at only 27 kg, which simplifies installation and repositioning while keeping the spatial requirements minimal. Its control system operates at an impressive 1000 Hz, ensuring swift and accurate motion adjustments. This high responsiveness is key to replicating real-world dynamics smoothly and enhancing the overall realism in both racing and flight simulations.
High-Speed Performance
Capable of reaching speeds up to 250 mm/s and accelerating at 0.4 G, the GM5 generates motion effects that closely mimic the physical forces encountered in genuine racing and flying scenarios. With a latency of under 5 milliseconds, the system delivers real-time feedback, a critical factor for high-speed simulations where precision and immediate response are paramount for maintaining immersion and control.
Advanced Vibration Feedback
A standout attribute of the GM5 is its broad vibration frequency range, spanning from 0 to 100 Hz. This feature enables the simulation of a wide array of road and flight conditions, from the subtle rumble of an engine to the rough textures of a race track or the turbulence of a flight. The result is a richly detailed sensory experience that deepens the overall simulation realism.
SimTools Software
The motion platform is powered by SimTools software, which ensures extensive compatibility with various simulation titles and offers a plethora of adjustable parameters. Regular software updates keep the system aligned with the latest game releases, providing users the flexibility to fine-tune their motion settings for optimal performance across multiple simulation genres.
Versatile Motion Capabilities
Operating as a 3DOF system, the GM5 delivers three distinct types of motion. 'Pitch' produces an up-and-down tilting effect to simulate acceleration and braking forces, 'roll' creates a side-to-side tilt that emulates the sensation of banking during turns, and 'heave' enables vertical movements that mimic the experience of bumps, dips, or turbulence. This compact, cost-effective approach delivers all the essential motion cues required to create an immersive and dynamic simulation environment.
