The Next Level Racing® Motion Platform V3 is a compact, professional-grade seat-moving system designed to translate racing and flight telemetry into pitch, roll, and tactile feedback. By moving the seat independently from the wheel and pedals, it applies motion cues directly through the driver’s body while preserving the visual and control geometry of the cockpit.
The Motion Platform V3 differs from chassis-moving systems because the seat is the moving element. This allows the platform to create braking, acceleration, cornering, surface, vibration, and impact cues through pressure against the body.
We recommend it for advanced home simulators, professional driver or pilot training, VR installations, and commercial systems where compact packaging and direct seat feedback are priorities.
The platform moves the seat independently from the steering wheel, pedals, and primary cockpit structure.
Applies forward body-pressure cues during deceleration.
Creates rearward body-pressure effects under acceleration.
Uses roll movement to communicate lateral vehicle forces.
Telemetry from supported games is converted into seat movement and two-point tactile effects.
Communicates acceleration, braking, elevation, and aircraft attitude changes.
Communicates cornering, banking, side load, and uneven terrain.
Reproduces road texture, gear shifts, impacts, bumps, and vibration cues.
Next Level Racing Platform Manager provides calibration, game profiles, motion tuning, and software updates for supported racing and flight titles.
Adjust motion intensity, bumps, pitch, roll, and tactile effects.
Uses supported telemetry profiles for racing and flight simulation titles.
Guides setup and platform calibration during initial installation.
Receives software and supported-title updates from Next Level Racing.
Platform Manager includes VR Headway technology designed to compensate for physical seat movement in supported VR configurations.
Helps stabilize the virtual viewpoint while the physical seat moves.
Allows motion intensity to be adjusted for the user’s comfort and application.
The V3 incorporates passive and active cooling, adaptive fan control, electromagnetic motor-shaft brakes, and an internal power supply with active power-factor-correction protection.
Helps manage platform temperature during sustained operation.
Prevent platform movement when the system is switched off.
Supports controlled power delivery through the integrated power system.
Built-in noise-dampening panels help reduce operating sound from the enclosed motion hardware.
Compatibility depends on the cockpit model and motion configuration. Some NLR cockpits accept the V3 directly, while others require a dedicated adapter frame or Elite motion hardware.
Includes selected motion-ready cockpits such as GTtrack and Flight Simulator Pro.
May require the applicable Elite motion adapter or upgrade kit for the exact cockpit.
May require the Motion Adapter Frame or another model-specific solution.
The Motion Platform V3 can be combined with compatible Motion Plus and Traction Plus products in supported NLR configurations.
Provides seat-based pitch, roll, and tactile cues.
Adds compatible cockpit or chassis movement in supported configurations.
Adds compatible rear-traction or yaw-oriented movement.
Requires correct mechanical installation and software calibration.
NLR positions the platform for serious home users, professional drivers and pilots, universities, training institutions, VR companies, and commercial simulation centers.
Suitable for supported customer-facing installations and simulator facilities.
Supports advanced driver, pilot, research, and institutional applications.
An SDK is available separately for approved third-party integrations.
Add direct body-pressure cues to high-end racing setups.
Experience banking, pitch, turbulence, landing, and maneuver cues.
Combine supported motion compensation with immersive headsets.
Support driver, pilot, research, and institutional simulator programs.
Add compact motion to compatible customer-facing simulator stations.
Gain seat movement without moving the full cockpit structure.
