The engineering talent known today as Cruden has been around for some 20 years, despite the company forming as recently as 2006.
Originating from the Fokker Aircraft Company which was declared bankrupt in 1996, Cruden was formerly known as FCS Racing Simulation. In 2003, FCS took its flight simulation know-how and developed a racing simulator that combined a motion base with a detailed dynamic vehicle model, near 100percent steering force feedback, excellent motion-cueing software and professional image generation. The resulting simulator proved to be very realistic, judged by experienced test drivers, with simulator sickness of below one percent; the best evidence of good simulation. The original Hexatech simulator remains the backbone of Cruden's product offering today.
Since 2005, Cruden has been successful securing projects both in the entertainment and industrial markets - where it is a trusted supplier to some Formula One teams - thereby gaining an excellent reputation in the vehicle simulator market place.
