YawVR 3DoF VR MOTION SIMULATOR

Very appealing, one could also take a bath inside that thing . Just kidding.

Cheers, Ed

It looks uncomfortable to me.

Any idea if this will be Aerofly FS2 compatible before I order one?

in my experience nobody has really solved motion compensation yet. So if you plan to use this for VR, when you rotate 45 degrees to the left you might find yourself outside the aircraft

Does that mean that you aren't 100% satisfied with your platform?

Small amounts of pitch and roll don't cause a noticeable problem. Large amounts of yaw are problematic. I would say I'm not 100% with it still, and need to spend a bit more time tuning the movements, but I got distracted with other things.

I am always interested in getting a platform, but it never seems quite ready yet. When they are as easy to setup as a joystick I will buy one!

One thing I would say is that platforms for motor racing have different requirements/priorities to flying. I haven't found my platform quite as smooth and fluid as I would like. For driving it has the power to throw me around and apply suitable forces, but for flying you need smoother gentler forces and ideally larger movements – and then you get the motion compensation problem. It's a bit hard to get an opportunity to test these things but I would recommend testing before buying. At the moment this is the platform that looks most appealing to me for flying https://fasetech.com

Ouch. That would put a real hole in the wallet.

isn’t a G seat an entirely different system? It’s not motion based.

Hmmmmmm...... I'm approaching the age (well, give me another decade or so) where getting out of that thing might eventually become an adventure of its own!

I bought the 3dof, then made the gseat go with it

What a neat looking device. Thank you for posting that.

My newest acquisition to flight simming .Dream flyer motion rig with the rift . The Dream flyer originally came with a mount for triple monitors , but I added the upper plastic tubing to accommodate the rift sensor .This motion sim uses no motors , it just uses the input from the flight stick . The Hotas joy stick is mounted under the seat to the seat in reverse. This simulator doesn't give you all that jerking around that those other electric platforms seam to do

Their website says the Dream Flyer has been discontinued and is lo longer available.

I'm considering the Next Level Racing V3 platform, has decent VR compensation and apparently excvellent software.

Though really, we all want the one below... Granted it's awesome engineering, but I chuckle eveery time I see it. The only motion rig you can actually crash in!

I noticed that when trying to purchase one , after a little research it said the cost of shipping made it not profitable. I found one used on kijji out of Alberta For half price including shipping, to good to pass up!

Sim tools does not have motion compensation. It relies on this plug-in which only works for steam VR and personally I find it a bit flaky. I'm on rift though so it could work better on vive. It also struggles if you have a bass shaker.
