TERRA. One simulator, built to evolve

Built around you

TERRA is ImSim's modular racing simulator platform, available from a static configuration to a complete motion setup.

A TERRA simulator in gold and black seen from the front three quarter, with the pedals, the steering wheel and the seat all visible.

Start here. Build from there.

You don't need to decide everything on day one

A TERRA simulator standing on the floor, with no actuators underneath.

01

TERRA Static

The platform, the seat, the steering and the pedals. It drives from the first day, and nothing about it is temporary.
02

Add sensory feedback

Four transducers, two at the front and two at the rear, turn what the car is doing into something the body reads, without the machine moving at all.
03

Add motion

Actuators go under the same chassis. Nothing above them is replaced, and the room does not change.
04

Complete setup

The full configuration on this platform. The machine bought on day one is the machine it ends as.

Driving position

The position moves to the driver

Steering height, pedal plate and seat all move on the chassis, and they move in seconds, without tools. Drivers of any build share the same machine, and nobody settles for someone else’s position.

01

Seat

Pull the lever and the seat runs fore and aft on the chassis rail.
02

Steering height

A button on the column, and the wheel rises or drops to meet the driver.
03

Pedal plate

The whole plate moves, so the reach changes without changing the angle.

Motion

Add motion when you're ready

A motion system moves the whole chassis, so the loads a car puts into a driver arrive where a driver reads them: through the seat, the belts and the feet.

Braking

The front actuators draw down and the rear ones extend.

Accelerating

The opposite, and the seat pushes into the driver's back.

Cornering

Seen from the front. One side lifts, the other drops.

Surface

All four together, for kerbs, crests and bumps.

D-BOX

FIA-licensed, and the system most ImSim installations run.

Qubic System

Longer stroke, built to hold precision under continuous load.

Configurations: Two or four actuators, fitted at order or added later on the same chassis.

Sensory feedback

Feel what the car is doing

Seen from above, four transducers sit in the chassis: a pair under the pedals and a pair under the seat, left and right. They stand for the four tyres of the car, and each is driven on its own, so a cue arrives from the corner where it happens.

The platform takes the hardware you choose

The steering deck of a TERRA, with the wheelbase mounted on it. — Wheel and wheelbase

A standard deck, drilled for the mounts the market uses.

The pedals of a TERRA, on the plate that moves fore and aft. — Pedals

ImSim Talento, or any other set on the market that fits the plate.

A sequential shifter and a handbrake mounted beside the seat of an ImSim simulator. — Shifter and handbrake

Either side of the seat, on brackets that move with it.

Displays: One or three. On the simulator, or on the ImSim stand.
Flight controls: Stick, throttle and rudder, on the same machine.
VR: Instead of the screens, or alongside them.

Software

We control every part of it

The motion, the tactile feedback, the wheelbase, the actuators — all of it runs on software we wrote ourselves. Nothing is handed to somebody else’s black box, which is why the motion agrees with the physics and why any of it can be tuned to the driver in front of it.

And it drives practically every title that matters in this industry, racing and flight. The FAQ lists them.
