I'm seeking a full motion system for racing simulators. Does anyone know
here I can buy such as system or how to build one?
Thanks in advance

Their stuff looks mightily impressive if you ask me.

I tried one of these in Dubai last Feb., had me grinning for days:

Their homepage:
http://www.hexatechracing.com
http://www.ultraforcesim.com
The web site will be updated soon with pictures of the new products.
I've managed to take a lot of cost out of the design, so expect lower
prices for the UltraForce G-seats and G-cushions.

I can see your point, Byron. It's definitely valid.
Then again, I can tell you from running a simple one-kart racing
program, racing simulations offer a lot of bang-for-the-buck. When I
finally got out of kart racing it wasn't because of the money. The
problem is the incredible amount of time and effort required to field
any sort of race car. The ratio of preparation and travel time v.
track time is huge.
With racing simulations you get all the seat time you can stand with
no tire bill, fuel bill, entry fees, hotel bill, ad nauseum.

I agree, but it all depends on the application you make
of it. In Dubai, they had two linked together in an
amu***t center. Price for a 15 minute ride was cheaper
than rental karts.

But forget the platform, I want the wheel. Direct drive, 20NM of torque and
up to 5500 deg/sec? I like my G25, but.... ;-)
SB
I know. :)
The company I work for, worked with Moog to help them develop
this motion platform. At one point, we were going to offer it
as part of a "cheaper" motion system on our entry-level
full-flight simulators. Not sure what happened though...

If I'd want one, I'd go for a rig that gives me MORE feedback than just
sitting in front of the screen...
The stuff found at http://www.force-dynamics.com/ seems to be a better
deal, you can fit it in a normal medium sized room in a normal house
(hehe), oh did I forget: They have made a plugin for rFactor that pulls
out the physics engine data you need to simulate G-forces using gravity
to that purpose.
One of those with a G25 (which we all own in the first hand), and I
would spend a family-threatening amount of time in it, surely. This rig
is on my list right after the grand piano. :-D

Asgeir Nesoen enlightened us with:
How are you gonna sim on a grand piano? Move it up on your list AG, now.
:P
Trouble is that force dynamics' rig was so damned expensive, originally
been advertised for 20,000 US dollars. I notice now that I cannot seem
to find any kind of quoted price for the thing on their website. Wonder
why? ;-)
