UK-based simulation specialist Dynisma has unveiled the DMG-S, a compact driver-in-the-loop simulator that brings the company’s proven motion platform to a broader range of motorsport and driver training applications.

The DMG-S shares the same core motion architecture found in Dynisma‘s engineering simulators, which have proved popular with F1 teams and other high-end motorsport outfits, delivering low motion latency and motion bandwidth above 50Hz. The differentiator is a more accessible price point and a much smaller footprint than the company’s DMG-1 and DMG-360XY systems.

According to the company, the performance envelope allows the platform to faithfully reproduce the transient cues that matter most to drivers: curb strikes, weight transfer, grip variation, tire degradation and oversteer onset. PMW tested the new system at Dynisma’s headquarters, and the fidelity and realism of the feedback, despite the compact platform, were impressive.

The system fits within a 2.5 x 2.5m footprint, making it viable for even the smallest workshop or the back of a truck. It requires only a single-phase 32A supply, obviating the need for dedicated electrical infrastructure. Two seating configurations are available to cover the primary vehicle categories: low heel point for GT and touring car, and high heel point for single-seaters.

Display options include triple 77in screens or VR/XR headset integration. Software compatibility spans Assetto Corsa as standard, with support for iRacing, F1, Le Mans Ultimate and professional vehicle modeling environments, making it straightforward to integrate into existing simulation workflows.

Ash Warne, founder and CTO of the company, framed the engineering rationale as follows: “A simulator becomes valuable when the driver can trust what they feel through the platform, from changes in grip and surface detail to weight transfer and vehicle balance at the limit. DMG-S applies the same engineering philosophy in a more compact format.”
