Q: Will the rig work with my home’s electrics?
A: In most cases, yes. However, because this system uses high-performance actuators, there’s a small chance it may trip an RCD (Residual Current Device) — especially in homes with older or more sensitive circuits. This isn’t a fault with the rig, just something to be aware of. In rare cases, a qualified electrician may need to assess your setup.
 

Q: Why would the rig trip my RCD?
A: It’s not due to overload — the system isn’t drawing too much power. It’s caused by something called earth leakage, which can happen when high-performance electronics (like actuators or power supplies) create brief, harmless imbalances in electrical flow. Most homes are fine, but sensitive or older circuits can sometimes trip as a safety precaution when multiple devices start up together.
 

Q: How much space do I need?
A: You’ll need a clear footprint of around 5ft x 3ft with additional room behind and around for motion clearance. We can help advise based on your space — the rig is solid and compact enough for most spare rooms or garages.
 

Q: Is it noisy?
A: It makes some sound — mostly mechanical motion. It’s not overwhelming, but you’ll definitely hear it when it’s active. It’s quieter than many racing rigs or wind simulators.
 

Q: Can I move it once it’s installed?
A: Not easily. It’s built solid for a reason — no flex, no wobble. Once it’s installed, it’s meant to stay where it is. It can be disassembled if needed, but it’s not designed to be moved casually.
 

Q: Will I need to set anything up myself?
A: No. The rig is fully assembled, tested and configured in our workshop. It's then partly disassembled for transport. When we deliver, we reassemble and connect everything. You may need to plug in a few cables, install your peripherals and follow a simple software setup, but all the hard work is done by us.
 

Q: Is it plug-and-play?
A: Not fully — and that’s a good thing. The rig hardware is tested and assembled before delivery, but we provide guidance on the software setup to get you running. If you’ve used SimHub before, you’ll feel right at home.
 

Q: Is it compatible with VR?
A: Absolutely. The rig is designed with VR in mind — plenty of space, clean cable management. You’ll feel every move, not just see it.
 

Q: Can I customise anything?
A: Within reason — yes. We can discuss mounting hardware, lighting, and cosmetic details. If you’ve got a specific vision, we’ll work with you to make it happen.

Q: I have another question or a problem?
A: Please drop an email to info@caelira.com and we'll be happy to help!
