Are there benefits of having the same platform and software as others?

As well as the help you can get from the MotionXP community in setting up your rig, one point that is often underestimated by enthusiasts who set out on their own is the software.

Movement profiles can require tens of hours of work to be convincing and cannot be easily adapted to other platforms which have different dimensions, travel distances and responsiveness.

With MotionXP, you can take advantage of other pilots' profiles, choose the one that suits you best and use the simulator immediately. You can also modify them later as you gain experience.

Similarly, for virtual reality users, you can use the files supplied directly, so you don't have to spend hours configuring everything!
