12 Sep 2014 Cruden to unveil powerboat simulator at IAAPA show Supplier: Cruden BV More Cruden BV details
Cruden worked with the Dutch military to help create its new powerboat simulator A new powerboat simulator will be unveiled by Cruden at the IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando in November.
The Cruden Powerboat 5CTR is an interactive experience for up to five guests, with emphasis on accuracy and realism. The Dutch company says it has applied the same detailed modeling approach to wave and boat dynamics and professional image generation that feature in industry-standard race car simulators.
To help achieve this, Cruden worked with the Dutch military on its fast interceptor vessels and security boats as well as Florida powerboat specialists and drivers in order to get the motion correct.
Cruden launched the powerboat’s ‘vehicle model’ and seascape visuals at the IAAPA show last year but will now showcase the complete simulator – with boat body and interior, including seats, steering wheel and controls.
In the attraction, two people sit at the front of the boat and control the helm, throttle, trim and navigation, while three others sit in the back seats. Two or more boats can race against each other.
