Let me know what you thought of this video! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
This guy: I can’t believe this was only 2 grand
Me with barley two grand: I can’t believe I found this g27 for 120 this is neat
2grand were im from gets you a crappy car, i think id rather buy 1 of these and take the bus lmao.
Mhm i thought i struck gold when i got a set of CSR elite wheel and pedals for $107. I can finally trade out my $50 DFGT.
Got a g29 for 120. Look on Facebook market place there's loads of deals
Same
Me i cant believe my Logitech driving force gt still works like new after 10 yrs of abuse.
Very cool, this would certainly fill the woman-shaped hole in my heart for a few weeks.
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Giggity
Wait till they have a similar contraption just for single guys 🤣
Hahah
Me watching this video 2 years later: Oh, it's $4K now.
This is really impressive for that little money comparatively. My only concern is reliability and durability of the motors, rollers, and pushrods. Otherwise, looks awesome!
I'm 6'4" 250...I would love a comparison of diff sizes and weights. I could see me taking this thing out for a session and it suffering if not rated for larger folks.
Though the items you mentioned gave me a heads up on what to look out for when shopping for one.
I would imagine that if you keep everything clean from dust and gunk, the bolts tightened, and the moving parts lubricated, you should be able to maximize its durability. I would look out for signs of overheating, bending, cracking, or anything coming out of alignment. Of course, if it's designed for durability, then it might not need that level of maintenance.
@@jbac5767 Same here. I am also a larger guy, so I would be concerned. The weight limit on this thing is 300 pounds. I am only about 25 pounds under that so...
its probably using industrial steppermotors. The should probably hold up fine.
Damn that thing is quite realistic, gets the old heart rate up I bet, I tried something similar in Vegas I had a ball. I'm sixty YO but I feel eighteen while running around the track in a simulator thumbs up for technology. 🇨🇦
you should treat yourself to 1 of these if you can, im sure someone will help you set it up even if you asked around on reddit. never too old my guy,
Dude if you can afford it, please get one for yourself if it makes you feel like that.
Rock on buddy
1armed ... Hey, sixty isn't that old anymore. I'm fifty. And, it's not what I expected. It is much better than I would have believed. Age is more of a number now.
If you can afford it, get one!
The lack of road feel could be because of some custom tracks don’t have that much road texture like other laser scanned tracks.
yeah it's literally because he's playing on man-made maps that were made for fun-drifting, not complete realism. He should have tried a track that actually has texture.
yeah 100% this is a mod track not a lazer scanned one , id imagine the Nuremberg or Spa would be much better than huntert park or what ever
He should try Sebring
Definitely thsts what I said always good to try stock content sometimes because mods are obviously not good sometimes depending on the modder
well its not 6 dof so any feeling of bumps would be very limited
3 years later. Find this video expecting a motion sim for under $1,000 but turns out it’s like $5k ☹️☹️☹️
I would like to see an update video on how it has held up - without being able to see it in person and watching the drastic movements on cheap plastic caster wheels that appear to have no bearings i would assume this thing will break pretty quickly.
I agree. It would be good to know how well it does for a user that weighs as much as an average American as well.
@@benjamincrowley9919 not me, crying over my 130kg. There are those who might say "well then, why don't you just lose weight?" If only it was that simple, I would already have been a model 🤣😂🤣
@@fabriziostrano2196 went from 150kg to 90kg in 11 weeks. Before I got extremely angry on myself for not having any will, I thought I'll die obese. Now I cycle up to 3K kilometers every summer. Wasted 10 years of my life.
@@fabriziostrano2196 So your a woman with a man name?
@@fabriziostrano2196 Same here I'm 420lb and car barley walk
I could literally drive the same track for 10 hours straight if i had this setup.
This simrig: "Please, no"
that will probably hurt your eyes
I managed 9hrs on f1 2021 time trial getting bk into it after 4 yrs off. I certainly know Bahrain inside out now.
You'’d probably want to do more. Hell, I’ve been averaging 5 hours on Nurburgring ring most days (still in lockdown) & I fear thats only going to increase when my ultra wide monitor finally arrives.
You could really play the hell out of Desert Bus
Here is my long term take, I have had basically this same system for over a year, close to two years at this point. (technically not mine personally owned by my company, but I was responsible for setting up/fixing and have accumulated probably close to 500 hours on it). I work in the technology field, setting up can be a pain and if your not great with technology you might really hate yourself. Taylor states it was easy in this video and the software seems to be newer then what we have, so maybe the have made improvements at this point.
The first major issue we ran into was motors over extending and the position sensors getting confused. This would result basically in one motor freaking out or doing nothing at all. We ended up reducing the max movement range for each motor to stop this from happening.
Second issue we ran into was the arms that attach the motors to the seat would bend. We replaced these with stronger ones. (We had a ton of people use this some weighing over considerably more then 200 lbs)
Third issue we ran into was the power switch on the DOF control box stopped working, (maybe 8-12 months in) this was a pretty easy fix we just replaced the power switch.
Fourth issue was one of the arduino that control the motors seemed to fry. We have not fixed at this point. Basically whenever we turn it on now the motor will constantly spin in a circle. tried trouble shooting for hours and seems to be related to that specific port on the controller.
Fifth issue depends on the person, but almost every single person that used this setup with VR experienced motion sickness. Even for me the first time I used it I felt really sick, but after continuing a few more times it went away. Most people at work wouldn't get past this point and we had to set up a monitor for 90% of the people that used it.
Overall though, as stated in the video for something inside your house, not having to maintain a car, not worrying about crashing etc. This thing is an absolute blast and more then just a toy, this can be used as a tool to help you improve as a driver.
to the motion sickness point- if your setup was at a business and people were using it as customers/guests, it's likely that many of them didn't have much time in VR in general, which could be a bigger part of the issue than the motion rig and its software.
I know that VR definitely took me a good while to acclimate to. it probably took me a grand total of about 10 hours of play in standing VR stuff before my eyes and brain/inner ear all kind of figured it out and I stopped getting headaches or nausea from playing more than about 20-30 minutes at a time in games where you move around in 3D space more than your real life walking around in a room-scale setup. driving a car in VR with little or no prior VR hours would probably make just about anybody feel sick, even on a $30k motion sim rig.
just as the other guy replied: their motion sickness was almost guaranteed to be the VR.
Ive done a tonne of VR, Ive got hundreds of hours across a variety of game types.
But I cannot do driving VR, I get the strongest most horrible motion sickness after about 5-8 mins and I need to stop playing. its disappointing as I really wanted a setup similar to this.
Ive read that it can get better with acclimating yourself to the setup but damn, thats a hard road, Id rather just drive my own car
@@jward0071 Yeah, driving and flying VR is where you really need to acclimate. Some games that fit natural body movement or just have you stand in place don't screw with your brain as hard.
Besides that, the setup you were on and how it was configured matters very much. Getting it "just right" is no easy task if you don't have a beastly gaming rig. Inconsistent framerates, lower framerates (like even 60fps), anti-aliasing, motion blur, input delays even if imperceptible...
The only way to get cozy with it is to have your own headset with your own setup and it takes a couple weeks of maybe an hour a day before its second nature and not leaving you feeling a little off.
@@buzzyshizzle5188 no motion sickness for me, I think it depends on your brain, I have no motion sickness whatsoever even in DCS and Assetto Corsa (HTC PRO VIVE 2 4k @ 120)
So for about 6k you could get an insane Sim Rig:
DOF Reality Motion Sim: 2200€
Fanatec DD CSL: 400€
2 rims: 250€
Seat: 200€
Fanatec Clubsport Pedals: 370€
Fanatec Clubsport Shifter V1.5: 270€
Valve Index Kit: 1100€
A very capable PC: 1400€
Don't get me wrong, it's still a LOT of money, but it's way cheaper than I thought it'd be
EDIT: I'd be really curious on how this thing is holding up, now that you've had it for a year
It’s still working just fine! And yeah people complain about the cost. But it’s like yeah you can buy a basic race car for that much. But then you need a truck and trailer. And all the expenses. Racing one night on the sim $0 racing one day irl. Minimum $3-400
@@Taylordrifts I mean let's not forget about the risk of dying by crashing the real car.
@@Taylordrifts trailer for race car? I guess if you're in shithole california LOL. All road legal, here.
For $500 u buy a cheap car and go race for real! 😂
Can't wait to get one! Amazing setup! ... Just getting into sim racing myself; got a Simucube 2 Pro 25nm wheel and some hydraulic pedals. VR headset is next, then motion rig -- so still a ways to go, but something incredibly fun to look forward to!
Do a review in like 3 months of use.
And a year / just before the warranty ends. It looks impressive in use, but is it durable?
boost_is_happiness si
I have had the same platform for almost 2½ years. Works fine. I only drive rally at high level so its definetly been through a lot. Its fastened to a large plywood board cause otherwise it would tip over. Still shakes around :)
Probably need 3 months just to get software tuned. Had the h3 for about a year.
There isnt much to it tbh, should last for a good few years
Would be interesting to see this in rally games like dirt rally etc.
I own the H3 now for six months and it was the best investment in my sim racing life beside my HP Reverb
I’d leave every gaming sesh with whip lash 😂
is already rallying on dirt
I started with a DOF H3 and up graded to a H6. Both are great on dirt rally but the H6 really is incredible. I think the DOF h3 and h6 are the best on DR
dirt rally 2.0?
This is one of the coolest VR full motion sim rig overviews I’ve seen. This is 3yrs ago too. Very cool content. Definitely gonna subscribe! Any advice on what kinda PC setup I’d need to keep up with this kinda setup if I weee to purchase the sim rig as well?? Very interested!!
Hi Taylor, Thats a great video! How is the SIM holding up after a year or so? Im thinking of getting one but I'm way over in Australia and if the SIM breaks or has a fault it will take a long time to get spares/support. Did you use it much? Did you have any problems, if so did the manufacturer help out or did you have to chase them? The bummer is too, its nearly $900 to just get it shipped here!
Little tip, buy a harness and strap it to the back of the rig on some strong springs. Then when you hard brake you will have the harness tighten up and feels so much better and more immersive
Kinda sounds like a good way to smush yourself
Attaching the harness to the seat mounting would be a great way; your weight being tossed around will do the trick more than enough.
I get the harness idea. Why the springs?
The immersion sitting in this setup with a VR helmet looks incredible. Watching you/your body anticipating and counteracting to what you think will be upcoming G-forces tells me that very clearly.
I want this.
With vr you might just need small haptics to complete the sensation that your brain is expecting, which this seems it would be perfect for
@@DavidDDavidson1337 simxperience.com/en-us/products/simvibe/simvibesoftware.aspx
lets you feel the texture of the road. I have a set of minipuck transducers mounted to my seat as well as at the corners of my rig. can't drive without it.
Swap that belt drive against a direct drive module and you complete
Go with another option.. seriously, unless someone comes out and changes my perception, the way Igor has spoken to me, you dont want to spend your money with these people.
Think we all do LOL
dude ... great little informative video. Really liked how you presented it! Down to earth.
DOF does not stand for Dimension of Freedom but "Degrees of Freedom", it means the system is able to move in 3 axes. 6 DOF means it can move in 3 axes plus rotate in each of them.
Sometimes 3DOF can mean 2 axes and 1 rotation etc...so in this case I think you have two axes and a rotation around Z axis.
A term that I believe was coined back in the 90s with Descent.
@@0525ohhwell no. It is a term that has been used in physics for centuries... coined in the 90s... people need to stop making up sh*t in their head and pretending that it is reality.
@@thomgizziz lol, easy tiger. Thank GOD I said "I believe". I can't even imagine how mad you would have been if I stated it like a fact.
I couldn't even imagine how I could have dealt with that.
DOF stands for Dropping of Fritos. As in if you place a bowl of them on the side table how many are going to hit the ground.
I think a racing harness would definitely help the immersion
That's what I was thinking. I feel like it would be a little nerve racking driving like that feeling like you're not secure. Idk tho, you might just sit down and be instantly used to it.
Definitely agree
@@matthewmcclain1316 they make immersion for seat belts. tightens them and releases and what not!
I was thinking the same thing
Actually would be better because you wouldn't be get slung around a lot
Looks like a lot of fun! I wonder what I must do on my end as a developer to make my sim work with this. I have forcefeedback for windows but this motion sim would be awesome.
Id love a few seconds of your expertise to ask if you think you could ever get ForceFeedback working for MacOS? I’ve got windows on my MacBook but recently noticed most of the F1 20XX have a native macOS install as well as the Dirt series.. But Thrustmaster wheels will only work as an input in macOS, Pretty sure macOS sees them as a usb class complaint because theres no TM macOS installs... Again I can boot into windows but the games will run better natively on macOS.
Looks super cool Taylor. My biggest problem myself is any motion video so close to my eyes, I will start getting dizzy. I wished the game was without the VR, just like the arcade...with a big front screen.
I've had the Professional P3 since Friday. Unboxed Friday, Set it up Saturday and Sunday, Tuned it on Monday and Tuesday for a few hours for all my cars and WHAMMO...racing like a champ on Wednesday. Toughest part was putting it together and I build R/C Collective Pitch Large Scale Helicopters, but Igor from DOF Reality was great taking my calls and answering all my emails (EVEN ON A SUNDAY!) Now that is service. This is better than I could have ever imagined.
We had those at a VR arcade I did setups for. It was good, but every once in a while we had issues with the motors over extending and not working. But it was easily fixed.
the same as the 1 in the video or similar ?
Dude. So many views. Well done mate. Wishing you more success.
Very cool just recently been thinking about purchasing a sim cockpit and this might be the answer. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
In assetto you probably get smooth motion only on laser scanned maps and official cars and not on modded cars and tracks, correct me if I am wrong
yep was thinking that my self
correct, all depends of quality of the mesh of road surface, same with ffb, on some modded tracks you can't feel road texture at all
assetto needs alot of polishing
@@tylermcguire2163 This has nothing to do with Assetto needing "alot of polishing", the modded tracks (crude physics track mesh, or in some cases no mesh) and cars are what needs polishing... did you even understand what was said
@sollostyles Well, the point remains: quality of source material (i.e. tracks and cars), regardless of origin (AC or third party), is more relevant to the overall experience than innate limitations coming from the game itself.
Let us not argue on irrelevant details plz. ;)
Taylor Ray, you continue to amaze me today you made video games and a full motion simulator a business expense.
Thank you for this detailed overview! Glad to see rigs out there with a lower price and function well!
Great video man I subscribed !
This is perfect. I wantt o look into getting one of these sometime this year. How has the rig held up? Any issues you had to fix?
Dear Santa,
I've been really really good this year.. I been extra nice to my sister......etc...etc..
so I would like a $2K+ racing setup😬😃

I heard "dimensions of freedom" and instantly thought about Cleetus

I heard this and cringed a little, because in the engineering world we call it degrees of freedom. But you can call it what you want
it means the same thing
Hes been hangin with him quite frequently😆🤣🤣
Insane rig bro and awesome gameplay. Ever thought about ordering a slightly less deep dish steering wheel? I noticed your paddles sit pretty far away from the wheel. Just my two cents! loved the vid
Thank you for this I really wanted something like this and this video helps a lot!
"I thought I pulled out of it, but I didn't" 8:19 hahaha
thank you for posting this! on thing i didnt see you mention was the stiffness of the rig. thats so important in a stationary rig, and i have to assume in a motion rig that would be even more critical. the 1" square tuning looks tiny, but if done right i was curious if you noticed any flex? maybe best tested with motion off. mostly the pedal mount and wheel mount. any flex?
Great video! Now I NEED one!
Old gamer here, 49 today! I'm blown away, not to mention your new toy but just how far gaming has come. 2k isn't pocket change for most of us , but that system looks great, someone said do another review in 3 months, peddle down and east bound!!!
Great video, the level in the first game you tried is imported from rFactor so the floor is dead smooth, where as the vanilla tracks are all laser scanned so it should be better with those on AC. I love rF2 and iRacing more though.
That is intense lookin!! I've watched slap train with his motion rig, and I'm sure his is more expensive but this right here is perfect, and the cost is blue collar friendly... lol 🤙 that's sick
Racing Games are the best VR experiences you can have as of right now. Combined with a nice motion sim you can just stay stationary while feeling like you're somewhere entirely different.
I remember using the tank driving simulators back at Ft.Knox and thinking how cool it would be if the tech was available for gaming and here we are almost 30 years later and its available and affordable
Bro your a boss. I was looking into doing one myself but this seems very tempting.
Go with Next level, their support talk to you like you're human being with feelings.

Looks like u having a great time. Great gift for everyone I bet! Thanx 4 the great vid.
Having driven many laps on the real Road Atlanta, it was awesome to see how realistic it looks in your sim. I can't believe how much you can get a motion sim for nowadays compared to just a few years ago. Thanks for the review.

When not in use, it's important to store your motion sim rig in the fully Tuck position.
Great review. Loved it. I’m looking for something for my kid to do dirt racing. Have you tried dirt ovals, in a sprint car?
Cool vid man !!
I was over here talkin shit when you was explainin this thing, motions of freedom, lol.... but then you started playin.... and i want one of these!

Cool to see you could likely just work on it and or upgrade the setup yourself as everything is fairly open and interchangeable looking
BUILD A HELMET WHERE YOU CAN CLICK THAT VR HEADSET IN. IMMERSION....!

Would love to see this set with the late models or sprints
I've got this same setup and it's pretty intense. A lot of fun tho. Off Road Trucks and Rallycross is where it'll damn near throw you out of it if you don't have a harness and power at 100%
@@uwftmac2 How does it feel while accelarating? Does it actually pull you in the seat?
CorvetteC6Corsa lol I’m guessing unfortunately not as that would be some full on g force that I don’t think any motion can replicate. the seat will just bog down any tilt back with hard acceleration and in vr would probably make it feel similar to the the real thing but not quite it. I’d love to have this setup tho it’s sick

I love it... Getting back into it... Haven't leagued raced online since FORD and COMPANY shutdown most of if not all of the mods using the PAPYRUS codes... I still have my NASCAR 2003 racing CD...

Thanks for the demo awesome..!!!
Loving it, great video.
I really wanted to get one of these, been simracing for 7 years but when I raised money for a very similar setup to yours last year I just decided to keep the money, raise much much more and try to buy a house in the future (a simrig like this is worth around 4500£ with dd wheel and heusinkveld LC pedals) you can buy a nice house in Poland for 50 000£. Still looking at used motion sims and gear but I'm trying to stay strong and not break my mx5. Also thought about selling my car, get a shitbox just to drive to work and fully stick with simracing, it's so fun.
Good grown up decision. Take care of necessities and THEN treat yourself.
Rip wish you could buy a nice house here at that price but nope its more like €500-550K
Thumbs up for your priorities. Moving from objectives to better ones is somehing lacking overall IMHO.

When playing the cup trucks, just like in any rally 4wheel stuff left foot break on throttle to meet apex...aka load the front to grip front out. I did a Rallyfish day one time in a subaru...felt so odd but it really works.
A question for those already using motion sims rigs.. If we forget about immersion and fun, do you feel the cockpit motion actually benefits you for lap times and concentration during a long race, in comparison with only using a DD wheelbase?
And zero replies😂
Awesome! Can you do a video to see how it's holding up after 1.5 years of use?
Kame Trick called you out for that sim drift challenge! Would like to see you do a video on it and talk through the steps.
Would love to see how this thing handles rally like the dirt games with all the feedback if it would freak out. Love the videos keep it coming, stay healthy and safe.
Its intense. You can dial it all down. Crashing in this thing , dialed up, sucks!
This is a really cool and informative video. Thanks !!!
but also, your reaction time is something to definitely work on =)
also 5point harness to get the motion to work across your body properly. your body is trying to correct as you sit forward.

how is it just wondering :p
This makes me very happy. I have 3 home built race cars. This is awesome home training
I hear they're also making full motion vacuum cleaners these days, too. What a time to be alive.
The "dimensions of freedom" graph looks like a ghost freaking out lol
For the money.it is a great piece of gaming equipment.it can be up graded to 6 degrees of motion. I'm not sure about small people .but I suggest the pro series. It 2800.00 but comes with the larger motors .I'm a big guy .I fly I'm my set up.and it feels like I'm flying a bad ass f14 Tom cat fighter. With vr its assume. Just dont forget about your real life for to long.they may reposed your crap! It's to much fun.
i wish youd do some more videos with this thing. sim stuff is so fun to watch
The F1 part actually made me smile. Great job bro! This is amazing. Nothing like this in Australia, price point wise :(

is it still good?
@@MyrothasMcMillan yes still works perfect.
@@ants00 man, i think im going to get one.
17:40 The comment made here is so EPIC. It is why I am here. I know there will be NO other way ever possible. I am just looking at wheel reviews, and came across this, and now I am thinking about the future since I am pretty good at saving money, and I honestly didn't think I would live to see it possible to have something like this in my house ffs.
Now I know what I am going to put into the basement of our new house build. Cheers from Canada!
Man this is dangerous to watch. Trying to hold off on getting another sim until I move into my own house. But you have me wanting to spend some big money 🤣
get a harness too, that will help immerse you
I would recommend the DIY route, which I did.. COULDN’T be more happier! I modified the SFX-100 open source actuator and added an actual motion controller over an arduino board. I am happy so far, and rather than having 100mm of movement, I have 300mm of movement. I also went with 10 degree ball screws rather than the 5 degree ball screws it was designed with.
Now I can have more movement when I fly around, and less movement when I am driving. DOF is really over priced when you look into DiYing your own platform. Xsimulator is out there and they have tons of useful documented builds.
FYI, DOF as in 3DOF and 6DOF means degrees of freedom.
How much did your DIY motion sim cost? (Only the DIY motion sim itself)
Dope video, these are sick and the fact that this one was around $2k is all the better.
"I might have hit the wall" lol :P
FYI: *DOF* means *Degrees of Freedom* NOT *DIMENSIONS*
i thought it meant depth of field
How about DTF?!?!😂
So there are not 6 dimensions?
I thought it was Directions of Force.
I was hoping someone said this lol
I saw a onewheel in the background, so I trust you. Solid review.
This is sick bro!
So, after owning this for 2 years, what is the reliability like? Since it’s cheaper than other motion sims, does it hold up over the years or did anything start to break on you?

I rally in dirt2 with vr a pico neo 3, best quality lens for the money without needing a background in comp sci. But the csl dd 8nm I'm so happy with jumping into Xbox and ps5 with friends.
Good luck!
Remember though, most people are going to tell you max ffb is best because they don't actually drive or track real cars and you will have to tweaj ffb settings for each game to make it actually feel real, which because you've done it will be a lot easier for you.
Half listen to people's base tunes, but invariably people set up their various direct drives so they are as heavy as gokarts, as though harder to drive is more realistic 🙄
So I'm curious, especially with the yaw moving your angle around, doesn't that mess with the orientation of the real wheel and pedals vs what you see in game? What I mean is the game expects you to remain in the same physical position in VR so as the seat moves around aren't you effectively moving around in the cockpit of the car and the wheels and pedals are moving out of alignment with the in game representation?
That's what I'm thinking
Awesome! Great video
Yes yes, the blind approach dex and apex. Gotta love it
We are in the future!!! I love it!!! Lol
That’s great. I wonder is it difficult to find and reach to the shift and the handbreak while you use it VR. Can you see them while you play the game with VR?
I have vr and play assetto corsa and American truck simulator with an 18 speed transmission. you develop a memory real quickly on where the shifter and buttons and stuff are.
also no you cant see anything but the game while in vr
Thanks for sharing!
You can get mounts to add keyboards to sim rigs. Basically it would be angled toward you at your 10 o'clock position (or 2 depending on your handedness lol).
