“Feels absolutely amazing … very realistic, especially the jumps.”

The rig moves like
the car does.
Most consumer motion rigs put linear actuators under the chassis corners. Lifting corners approximates roll and pitch and nothing else. The PDK is a Stewart platform: six direct-drive legs moving the whole cockpit through all six degrees of freedom at once.

“It felt stable … there was a lot more verticality than I thought there would be.”

What each axis gives you
Six axes, six different things to feel.
A four-actuator rig can give you two of these convincingly. The other four are the ones that tell you what the car is actually doing.
| Axis | Kind | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Surge | Translation | Longitudinal load under braking and throttle. Brake markers become something you feel arrive rather than something you watch. |
| Sway | Translation | Lateral slip and traction loss. Oversteer reaches your body before it reaches the screen — the difference between catching a slide and watching it. |
| Heave | Translation | Kerb strikes, surface texture, and vertical compression through high-load corners. |
| Pitch | Rotation | Dive and squat, taken from telemetry rather than approximated from corner lift. |
| Roll | Rotation | Body roll, banking and camber transitions, with the smooth authority of direct drive. |
| Yaw | Rotation | Rear-end breakaway as a real rotation of the cockpit. The cue corner-lift rigs do not have at all. |
Per-axis travel is published on the technology page and summarised on /industries/ and /compare/, as the nominal single-axis envelope — no axis reaches its single-axis maximum while the others are working.
Your sims, your gear
It plugs into what you already run.
The platform takes a pose over UDP. Getting a pose out of a racing title is what FlyPT Mover does, and it does it for anything that exports telemetry.
Titles
Through FlyPT Mover: iRacing, Assetto Corsa and Competizione, rFactor and rFactor 2, Automobilista 1 and 2, Project CARS 1 and 2, the DiRT Rally and Codemasters F1 series, RaceRoom, BeamNG.drive, KartKraft, Kart Racing Pro, Live for Speed and GTA V. Titles with no telemetry export can still drive the platform from wheel and controller input.
Wheel and pedals
The PDK + ARK Ecosystem brings them matched: an ARK direct-drive wheelbase, wheel, load-cell pedals and button box on the aluminium chassis. Bringing your own Simucube, Fanatec or Asetek base and Heusinkveld or Simgrade pedals? The PDK Racer chassis is built for them.
Tuning
Runs in a browser dashboard served from the platform's own onboard router. Nothing to install, reachable on your network.
FlyPT Mover is written and maintained by FlyPT Mover. We test against it and support it; it is not ARK software and this site will not imply that it is. How integration works ›
The long stint
The motors never carry
the weight of the rig.
A servo platform holds the full static load of rig and driver on its motors for the whole session. Heat builds, and on many rigs fidelity fades with it. On the PDK the standing load is carried by pneumatic cylinders under patent CA 3217174 C, so the motors work only when the car is moving you — which matters for endurance events, esports training blocks, and the duty cycle of a venue running back-to-back sessions all day.
The PDK + ARK Ecosystem
Wheel, pedals and chassis,
matched to the platform.
The PDK, the aluminium racing chassis, extension feet and the two-piece wood table, an ARK direct-drive wheelbase, wheel, load-cell pedals and button box — one order, one 24-month Limited Warranty. We make the forces. Every part is tested to take them. You add the seat, PC and screen.
