The Motionsystems Platform is plug & play and is operated with a software from Motionsystems. Numerous games (mostly flight and racing simulators) can be played with the platform. Setting it up is very easy. However, the platform weighs more than 300 kg, so installing and transporting it - besides having to pay a lot of money to be able to afford it at all - is probably the biggest challenge.
Thanks to VR Head Way, a software for VR motion compensation, you always stay centred in the cockpit in all games. The quite strong movements of the platform (up to 30 degrees) are compensated during the game. Only when I move in my cockpit are these movements also perceived as such by the VR glasses.
This video is very helpful for me as I begin to learn FlyPT and start tuning my recently finished PT-Actuator 6DOF. So far, I haven't found any videos of my rig using that software in DCS. Like you, my primary use of VR and motion is DCS and MSFS, so it looks like I'm in for a lot of trial and error, lol. I noticed that you were constantly explaining the physics of flight and the forces and movements of the platform to replicate those forces. I'm glad you cleared up the misconceptions that so many non-pilots have about what we experience up there. Flying is the most amazing and incredible accomplishment of the human being, as far as I'm concerned! I've felt that way from the moment I saw airplanes as a child, which is why I knew that one day I would have to become a pilot, if at all possible. It was the best thing I've ever done and I am very fortunate to have achieved that goal, twenty five years ago! I really wanted to become a fighter pilot, but that dream never materialized. 😂 Thanks for making these videos 👍🏽
We probably share the same story. Unfortunately, I failed to become a jet pilot at a young age due to a small heart defect. I became a private pilot myself as a hobby and used the platform to continue building my dream. And thank goodness there are still users like you who understand what the platform is supposed to simulate.
Why doesn't anyone write in racing simulations that the platform is rubbish because it leans to one side in turns even though the car is travelling horizontally? Someone should understand that...
@@madmontys6dofmotionplatfor386 Absolutely. In fact, when I first started using it with the DCS profile in SRS, I noticed immediately that it was wrong. Probably tuned that way by a non-pilot or to demonstrate the rolling motion of the rig, but it just doesn't feel good to have your body leaning into a turn like that. Even in 45 and 60 degree steep turns, you don't lean like on the incorrectly tuned motion platform, 😂 ...BTW, I found a DCS profile on the forum made for a hexapod. I was able to modify it for my rig and it's feeling really good. Still tweaking it as I learn more about the program filters (FlyPT), but so far I like what I'm feeling. Your video was a tremendous help! I think after I get it setup really well, I'll toy around with a profile for cars. I'm not really into simracing, but I do like driving around in Dirt rally 2 ocassionally 😆
Thank you for the informative content!
Hey! Nice rig and very good explanation of the forces and his movements. I have set almost everything exactly the same. Only that with the inverted flight position, then the seat tilts forward. I think you also use flypt? Can you tell me how to set that with the negative seat position? i believe, this ist cool.
Hey Sebastian, I don´t use Flypt, since Motionsystems provied it´s own VR-ready software for their platforms. Negative pitch always comes with negative g-forces. So flying inverted results in negative g and therefore pitch forward. But: If you fly inverted and start pulling positive G (split s maneuver), the platform pitches backwards due to the positive g. That makes it so fantastic realistic...
@@madmontys6dofmotionplatfor386 -Please share what the overall cost is for this. Looking at upgrading from the Yaw first gen to this. Awesome setup @MadMonty!!
@@cpsstudios I purchased the system 2 years ago, since then, Motionsystem has raised their prices. You will find the actual prices on the website of motionsystems. My cockpit is a combination of the monstertech MTX flight rig and additional aluminium profiles. The complete pit on top of the plattform was about 2.5 k Euros (without Joysticks / VR / PC etc.).
PS: I always recommend to make contact to Motionsystems and ask for a personal offer.
Wowww!! Crazyyy 😍😍
More videos when? I wanna see some dogfighting in a P51D!
I'd like to do more, the cockpit has expanded significantly, but I'm short of time at the back and front. The old problem - a lot of work, a lot of pay, platform therefore, and no time for that.
waaau !!
How much
Just research the websites in the description., but it is beyond 20k
