WARNING - Simmotion or Cockpit in Motion
Hello all
I don't do this lightly but I must post a warning of my experiences over nearly 2 years with the purchase of a 3 axis motion base from Cockpit in Motion of the Netherlands, run by Mr Kay Hunze. As you can imagine this cost quite a lot of money.
The product was very, very late in arriving and then would not work. I was returned to Hunze/CIM to be rebuilt and they have had it for nearly 5 months with only lame excuses. Once they received my money their communication was dreadful...they refuse to talk on the phone and only email after repeated messages.
In the meanwhile CIM has morphed in Simmotion and I also note another company called MSESimulation whose products bear an uncanny resemblance to Simmotions....Mr Hunze denied any connection but I found out the website was registered in his name! So I will let you draw your own conclusions.
I am in touch with another CIM/Simmotion customer who has also paid for a motion base a long time ago and received nothing but excuses.
Please, please be very careful with anything to do with Cockpit in Motion, Simmotion (and possibly MSESimulation) and Mr Kay Hunze.
he has taken my money and now my property (my returned base) and have nothing to show for it. If you are in any doubt about dealing with these companies or individuals please get in touch.
Please do not be so trusting as I was as unfortunately there are people out there who make promises they can't deliver and who should not be in business. Do not trust Mr Hunze with 1c of your money!
Please spread the word on these guys to protect others from being conned.

back on line..been flying a real one!
Hello everyone, back online after a couple days away and shocked to see how much interest my email generated. Thank you to all of you for your kind words and support.
I suspect CIM was bankrupted by another unhappy customer in the Netherlands and unfortunately Hunze neglected to mention this to me until he received my base back in Holland...in fact he only told me about this recently. He still promised to fix the problem but that was 5 months ago....when I returned it he assured me it would take 6 weeks maximum. He now claims the base is fixed (can I believe him?) but refuses to send it back to his cost as he agreed because after hearing nothing for months and constant refusal to communicate with me I had the nerve to contact the police. The police response was his conduct was not criminal but warranted a civil case which I kind of expected. Anyway I dont want to give him another cent because he is completely untrustworthy. I hope the managers of this forum can make this a sticky so that when he screws someone else via Simmotion and they shut him down he does not just hop again to another shell and start all over again. I agree with the comment that most, in fact the vast majority of flight sim vendors are honest, decent people who are a credit to our hobby but unfortunately for every 1000 there is one rat like Mr Hunze.
Caveat emptor! Anyway unless he sorts this out I am not going to stop spreading the message so people know the risks they are entering into if they plan on dealing with this conman and his companies. Thinking next of creating mirror websites to his in Au so anyone doing a websearch for Simmotion etc will get to hear my experiences. He has caused me so much frustration and angst that I just want to stop him doing it again. I have found another link to MSESimulation which looks suspiciously like a "Hunze sim company" but he denies this...dug a bit deeper and I see the website is registered in his name so maybe he is getting ready to do another hop!
Thanks again for your interest and please warn others not to deal with Hunze or his companies. Would be interested to hear from others who have had experiences with CIM/Simmotion/MSESimulation/Hunze.
Kind regards
Mark
MSESimulations=CIM=Simmotion
The purpose of this thread was a warning for Simmotion alias Cockpit in Motion. They found a new name now MSE Simulations !!!
So be carefull
Re: CIM=SimMotion=MSE=?=?
Carefull!
He is still at it! Promises, promises, all words and no action. Thinks he can get ritch by sitting on his lazy arce. So sit on your money en stay away from mr Kay Hunze, CIM, MSE. He can not be trusted.
Re: WARNING - Simmotion or Cockpit in Motion
Maybe Matt Ollieman should remove this thread too as he has just removed my thread regarding Simkits negligence. Is there a rule against reporting bad experience with sim companies on this forum?
