What is a motion platform and how does it work?

A motion platform moves your seat or entire rig to simulate the forces you’d feel in a real car. It uses motors and actuators to tilt, lift, or vibrate the rig based on telemetry from the sim so when you brake, accelerate, or hit curbs, the platform reacts in real time. This adds physical feedback beyond the wheel, creating a deeper sense of immersion and vehicle control.
