Focused primarily on racing driver development, SimCraft technology has also been applied to flight as well as promising and pioneering health research on neuroplasticity restoration in cancer patients.

The company's product applications range principally by variation in chassis design and material and are found in usage from military training/research,[1] medical research, neuroplasticity rehabilitation, professional training,[2] entertainment, gaming enthusiast,[3] and esports.

Unable to find an affordable motion platform for flight simulation, Mr. MacDonald undertook the building of his own system using components available at almost any hardware store.

Although the company's technology has changed over a decade and is now based on electromechanical control,[5] that eliminate latency and safety concerns, the first prototype's motion was supplied by homemade PVC pneumatic actuators and powered by a 4 horsepower canister vacuum cleaner.

Mr. MacDonald's son Sean Patrick formed an LLC in 2004 to continue development of the architecture and refine the product application for both simulated training and gaming entertainment.

Electromechanical actuation was adopted as the sole medium for motion control, to eliminate air pressure latency and performance issues, and proprietary rotary "knuckle" bearings were developed to form the CORE architecture and create the adaptability of various chassis designs.

This prototype design provided proof of concept and a testing sled for incorporating software motion integrations including physics based racing and flight simulation.

The SAVE Program is supported in the United States House of Representatives by Democrat Paul Hodes and in the US Senate by Republican Judd Gregg.

The solution proposed by SAVE is the development of three technologies: effective synthetic expert driver skills training, leap-ahead adaptive active safety systems, and autonomous vehicles.

In January, 2009 SimCraft launched the APEX Motion Racing Simulator at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
