The developers promise nothing less than one of the cheapest, lightest and quietest motion simulators.

The whole thing weighs around 15 kilos in total and can be practically packed away.

Yaw is compatible with SimTools software and more than 80 different simulator apps, including the best-known and most popular simulator brands.
