The engineering talent at Cruden has been around for some 20 years. Originating from the Fokker Aircraft Company, Cruden was formerly known as FCS Racing Simulation. In 2002, FCS took its flight simulation know-how and developed a racing simulator that combined a motion base with a detailed dynamic vehicle model, near 100 percent 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.
Over the last decade, Cruden has been successful in securing projects in both 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.
