What is it like to handle a CXC driving simulator? For many, the upcoming episode of “Tech Toys 360” will be an excellent way to find out!
CXC Simulations is pleased to announce that its Motion Pro II driving simulator will be featured on the Discovery Network’s “Tech Toys 360” show, which airs Tuesdays at 8:30/7:30c. “Tech Toys 360” has set out to feature the coolest vehicles, gadgets and gear on the market and gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at both the goods and the people who created them.
The Discovery Network paid a visit to our offices on November 4th 2011 to film the TV footage and interview CXC Simulations CEO, Chris Considine. Also interviewed was racecar driver and CXC development driver Patrick Long, who provided the Tech Toys crew with an insider look at the thrills of driving CXC’s Motion Pro II Simulator by giving a racing simulator demonstration. CXC took the opportunity to showcase our latest product option – the brand new 55” Panoramic Display System. That’s right – we have increased the size of our high definition video display from an already giant 46“ to a whopping 55” Panoramic Video Display System. The high-speed racing look and feel is even more alive with the new massive display size!
Don’t miss CXC Simulations’ Motion Pro II TV appearance! The MP II simulator will be featured on upcoming Episode 13. For more details on when to tune in, check out Discovery’s Velocity channel technology website www.techtoys360.com.
CXC Simulations is headquartered in Marina del Rey, California and was established specifically to manufacture a professional-level racing simulator that was not only suited to pro drivers and race teams, but one that was practical for home use as well. Developed with the expertise and experience of professional drivers and engineers over a two-year period, the result was the CXC Motion Pro II, about which AutoWeek said, “might just be the best racing simulator in the world.”
Powered by a purpose-built rack-mounted simulation computer, the MP II is meticulously assembled from the same materials as racecars: aluminum, laser-cut steel and carbon fiber. It is compatible with all major commercial and online software options and users may choose from a practically limitless and ever-increasing list of modern or vintage cars to drive, including F1, GT, NASCAR, sports cars, off-road, open-wheel and rally (even race boats) and tracks around the world to race on. Yet what separates the MP II from other simulators is the implementation and interpretation of that software; the precise timing, intensity and accuracy of its proprietary full-motion system, tactile transducers and force-feedback controls, together with 5.1 surround sound and a 1080p high-definition panorama video display. The MP II realistically reproduces the sensation of racing, making it the ultimate driving simulator for both racing professionals and recreational enthusiasts alike.
