What CXC Simulations does

CXC Simulations is a privately held US manufacturer founded in 2007 by Chris Considine, specializing in high-end full-motion racing and flight simulators sold under the Motion Pro II brand. The company designs, engineers, and produces its hardware in-house at a 20,000 square foot facility in Torrance, California, including a proprietary low-mass motion control system that moves only the seat and driver (~180 lbs) rather than the full platform, a direct-drive force-feedback steering system, hydraulic brakes, the Synchro multiplayer control system, and VR integration with spatial audio. The Motion Pro II is positioned as a turnkey, professional-grade system engineered for thousands of hours of continuous use, validated by endorsements from Porsche, IndyCar, IMSA, and former F1 drivers.

The company operates a direct-to-customer sales model with publicly disclosed pricing through online configurators. Revenue streams include new simulator sales (home configurations starting at $75,000, commercial systems starting around $90,300 per unit with multi-unit deployments up to 20), a Certified Pre-Owned program priced at $29,900–$89,200, and a Special Projects Division producing bespoke builds for cruise ships, museums, government, and custom car conversions. White-glove installation, on-site training, and ongoing customer support are included. The company claims 400+ systems sold across every continent except Antarctica.

CXC serves four distinct customer segments: high-net-worth individuals (home installations), commercial entertainment venues (cruise ships, museums, racing entertainment centers, hospitality), professional drivers and motorsport teams, and government/law enforcement agencies. Named customers include Porsche, Toyota, Lexus, Ferrari, McLaren, Ford, Andretti, ExxonMobil, Norwegian Cruise Lines, the Henry Ford Museum, and US federal law enforcement, supported by partnerships with SimMetric Labs, driver coaching networks, and media coverage in Robb Report, AutoWeek, ForbesLife, and Police Chief Magazine.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• SimCraft: SimCraft builds high-end racing simulators targeted at drivers, racing schools, and commercial venues, with emphasis on motion and direct-drive steering. Directly comparable product positioning to CXC's Motion Pro II in the premium consumer and commercial segment.
• Apex Sim Racing: Apex Sim Racing manufactures high-end aluminum-profile racing simulator chassis and cockpits for enthusiasts and professionals. Comparable chassis/structure offering, although typically without the integrated motion platform that CXC provides.
• D-BOX Technologies: D-BOX designs and manufactures motion platforms and haptic systems integrated into racing and flight simulators as well as commercial entertainment seating. It competes most directly with CXC's motion control and full-motion simulator offering for both consumer and commercial customers.
• Cruden (Hexagon / VI-grade): Cruden, now part of Hexagon's VI-grade division, builds professional driving simulators used by F1 teams, OEMs, and motorsport professionals. Overlaps directly with CXC's professional motorsport customer base and full-motion simulator technology.
• ProdSim (Prodrive): ProdSim, spun out of Prodrive, supplies professional motorsport teams with driver-in-the-loop simulators used for race preparation. Closely comparable in serving professional driver training, though primarily focused on team customers rather than home/commercial.

Emerging players

• Next Level Racing: Next Level Racing sells cockpit-style racing and flight simulators across consumer and prosumer tiers globally. Competes at lower price points than CXC but addresses the same enthusiast/professional simulator buyer with branded, accessible hardware.
• Fanatec: Fanatec produces high-end direct-drive steering wheels, pedals, and shifters widely used in simulator cockpits. While not a full-motion simulator competitor, it is the dominant input-device peer whose ecosystem overlaps with CXC's customer base.

Broad incumbents

• VI-grade (Hexagon): VI-grade provides automotive-grade driving simulators and vehicle dynamics solutions to OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. Overlaps with CXC's enterprise/automotive OEM channel but focuses on engineering-grade virtual vehicle development rather than consumer or entertainment simulators.
• Moog Inc. (Industrial Motion): Moog is a large industrial motion control and simulation hardware supplier whose technology underpins many high-end simulators. Comparable on the motion-control subsystem level and a potential competitor or supplier to CXC's proprietary motion platform.

Others

• Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (Customer / Partner): Listed as a CXC customer rather than a competitor, NCLH represents the cruise-ship deployment channel and is included as an ecosystem/partner relevant to evaluating CXC's commercial pipeline and bespoke project references.
