Claim:
1. A control system for operation with a motion simulation system, the control system comprising: a profile generator providing motion and effects profiles for simulation thereof; a motion controller operable with the profile generator for providing virtual profiles including motion representative of a real motion for simulation thereof; an electronic gearing module operable with the motion controller for converting the virtual profiles to real profiles for directing movement of actuators operable for providing movement to a motion platform according to a preselected profile provided by the profile generator; an effects controller operable with the profile generator for providing a virtual effect representative of a real effect for simulation thereof and independent of the profile provided by the motion controller; a motion planner operable with the motion controller and the effects controller transmitting a combination of motion and effects to the actuators; and a weight measurement module operable for determining a weight distribution on the motion platform, wherein a torque is measured for each motor operable with the motion platform for providing movement thereto, wherein at least one of a center of gravity and moment of inertia of the motion platform is determined, and wherein the motion profile module provides modifications to weight measurements and motion profiles based on the center of gravity.
