So anyone else notice that during the banking in Nascar the chair should either remain upright or tilt the other way. Even with that bank, the G-Force of the turn would be more than enough to push you towards the outside of the turn instead of a sensation being pulling into the center of the circle which I saw being displayed there.

I think that your video (especially the bit about the rollercoaster) proved one thing - this thing would be amazing for flight sims. the pitch travel would be great for take offs or dogfight. However, for racing sims this is probably a hit and miss as you won't benefiting from a massive pitch travel but you definitely would miss on heave movement (up and down to feel elevation change, kerbs or bumps on the laser scanned tracks). In this case it looks like a set of 4 actuators and the 80/20 profile is a much better option for sim racing and there are companies which offer actuators with around the price of Yaw

[@Ultixa]

[@jimj2683]

I read that they are working on a X-Y-platform too. It will allow the seat to move forwards, backwards and to the sides. It will be much better for simulating g-forces. They should also add a seatbelt tensioner to simulate braking.

[@RenderedReality]

That would be pretty intense!! I have looked at some seat belt tensioners. I am excited to see what all Yaw does in the future!!

[@stevetb7777]

I don't think they are working on a X-Y-platform. I believe they have discussed that as a possibility for the future, but not for sure. They have much to do in order to be able to put time and energy into that. They have a 3rd party firm engineering the gravity platform as it is. That heave is much more important to most people overall than X-Y. And then... If the X-Y is a separate platform and the gravity/heave is separate, and the yaw is separate... it's possibly going to be unstable to have them all. =D

[@BeforeThisNovember]

Is it out yet?

[@adwbkk]

I have to say what a disappointment it has been to finally get my yaw 2 3DOF that I ordered over a year ago, only to find that it is incomplete and damaged. It was not damaged in transit. it was simply poor craftsmanship and lack of any quality control. I ordered the unit with casters (wheels) however they shipped without them but charged me for the wheels which I had to pay import duty on. They now say the wheels were not safe so thay have been discontinued but they did not bother to let me know about this. Nor have they made any mention about compensation or refund. The base plate on the bottom platform was severely damaged due to overtightening or something similar. They agree and have said they will ship another one, but they have not said when it will arrive or how I should go about fixing it when it arrives. Next problem is that after assembly there are only 2 DOF working, pitch and roll. Yaw and the chair lights are not working at all. The response from YAW has been incredibly uncaring and unprofessional. Email replies to my questions give only the most basic information regarding possible solutions. The answer to the yaw DOF not working was "after you disassemble try pushing the connectors in and see if that helps" This company has taken a good product and are now killing it. Do not buy from YAW they are the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. You will not get what you order and whatever you do get will be faulty.

Nice to see that it's a great motion sim! I'm still waiting for mine! =) Do you get motion sickness from using it? And what do you think about the motion compensation (your head, and thus the headset, moves when Yaw2 tilts to simulate acceleration, but the view inside the headset should be still)?

[@RenderedReality]

Doesn't cause any motion sickness for me at all. I actually think it should help people with motion sickness since your body is moving around to match what your eyes are seeing. There isn't as much disconnect there for your brain to try to comprehend. The Yaw software has motion compensation that works well, problem is I'm having trouble running the Yaw 2 off their software. So I am using Sim Studio 2.0, which needs an extra device that attaches to the rig for the motion compensation. What I have found though, is if I leave the Yaw software running with the motion comp plugin installed, then still run the rig off sim racing studio it still works. It's not perfect, but overall works really well, and the view in the headset stays pretty locked in.

A couple of things. 1. The wheel mount shown in this video is NOT the one the company is selling with the unit. Sadly, the one they're selling now is a central mount. 2. This is definitely NOT the cheapest motion sim rig. The DOF Reality H2 or H3 is. I'd love to see a proper head to head comparison between the Yaw2 Pro with the rotation platform and the H3, but I haven't seen anyone do one yet.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

I am looking at both of these right now but the Yaw while a bit more expensive has a lot more range of movement so that's good. The Yaw also LOOKS, and I'm only going off photos, like it has more ability for attachments. I'm looking at how much of a flight sim pit can I get strapped on there? Currently using a Monstertech chair mount system that essentially uses 80/20 rail extrusions clamped left/right/center on the chair that lets you mount a ton of stuff (I have a throttle, stick, mousepad, button box, jeyboard, and 3 VESA MFD mounts all on there)

[@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439]

It is not even a 'budget' setup at ~ 4 to 5k. That would be the DOF Reality H2 or the p6. DOF's prices start at 1.5K to 2.5k on the low end

@@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439 Yeah, DOF Reality is by far the cheapest motion sim I've ever found.

[@jasbails9857]

I was a backer, but pulled out due to lack of space and potential compatibility issues...what I needed to know was how it reacted in flight sims, DCS in particular. For instance, most g-forces in a fighter aircraft are straight down (apart from acceleration obv.) Does the yawvr2 take this into consideration? can it be programmed to? I.e. in a sustained turn/bank does the chair return to upright, or remain in a lean towards the turn during the turn?

[@nickmarcil6955]

you can program it the way you want with the limits you want, with the 360 addon you get more height so more forward pitch movement.

[@LeonardoG1981]

I am a backer for the pro version and I want to know if you tried any motion compensation while SIM racing, either motion compensation from the headset software , from the YawVR software, or from the SIM title (e.g. Assetto Corsa has a motion compensation feature) . If any of them work, it should, in theory, prevent your POV from pitching forward or backwards within the VR FOV. What happens, for example, is that when you break, the chair pitches forward to replicate the G forces creating the feeling of deceleration, however, your POV shouldn't change as that is not what would happen in reality; similarly, when accelerating and turning, the chair should serve to replicate G forces without reflecting on the POV within the VR FOV. Without motion compensation, as the chair physically pitches and rolls, the POV within the VR FOV does it too; which it takes away from the realism. Ideally, the software of the YawVR2 should somehow communicate with the software of the headset, in order to subtract the motion of the chair from the motion replicated by the VR headset, when motion compensation is active. I plan to use mine with my Pimax 5K+ that also has motion compensation, but I haven't seen, so far, any YawVR2 users successfully SIM race with motion compensation doing its work. A few features to try in future videos include the motion compensation of Assetto Corsa, the lock horizon (also in Assetto) combine and separately from the motion compensation (to see what works best) the motion compensation of the YawVR2, and that of the headset if present.

[@RenderedReality]

I have tried the motion compensation in the Yaw software, its not perfect, but it actually works pretty well. You can also run motion compensation in the Sim Racing Studio software, you have to purchase a device that attaches to the rig its self. I have done that yet, but I plan to.

Very helpful review. So their website has typos, and they sent missing bolts and parts to you. On top of that the software seems to have issues for a lot of people. I'd be concerned about buying something like this from such a team considering that accuracy and precision are important in mechanics and coding. And for some reason there's a lack of reviews for how it handles flight sims (that include rolling, banking and the additional manouvers sim racing doesn't typically involve). These issues leave too many questions to me about whether this is good for DCS. Maybe a detailed flight sim review from someone would change my mind.

[@RenderedReality]

Luckily the company had been great, they sent me out the missing pieces. The software is a bit of a bummer, but it works so good with Sim Racing Studio that it doesn't bother me too much. Hopefully they get the software figured out though. I also have a 4090 pc on order so some flight sim stuff will be coming.

@@martycurtis7090 if they would make it compatible with psvr2… *GAMECHANGER!* as more and more AAA titles come out, that arcade of yours would be an absolute success.

[@Triplemoon458]

Yes I am getting ready to order a pro! But I am in Canada and if I don't get the 360 platform I save $910 US . In your opinion is the 360° platform worth the extra cost?

[@VR_combat_flight_simmer]

If you fly a lot, it's useful. But for racing, you can get away with not having it. It does help with traction, but you can kinda get it without the yaw platform

[@rav3n595]

Would like to see a mount assembly that allows controls to be at the proper height and location. Putting sim equipment on a single level table top has never been good for PC use and I can't imagine it would be for a motorized sim pit either. Otherwise, it looks like the Yaw II is going in the right direction. I can see hobbyists making their own equipment mounts and housings. Seems that it would be more practical for them to concentrate on the chair itself and sell it bundled with Sim Racing Studio.

[@RenderedReality]

They already have that, and it comes with a side mount foe the shifter and hand brake, I just like it this way so far and haven't switched it

[@RayoBeatz]

simulators are the next level no pun intended thing no more controllers

[@shawndixon4536]

I feel like it has too much motion for sim racing. Plus, I bounce between triple monitors and a VR headset, depending on the type of driving or if it's VR compatible. I am.curious on the pricing though.

😁👍 lots of fun!!

[@user-qx9wv3xf6u]

I want, I want!!!!!

[@RenderedReality]

It's so much fun!!

[@franklees10]

how loud is it? if you mute the game on the headset how much noise does the chair make? can you hear it in the next room, will it wake the kids up?

[@RenderedReality]

It actually isn't too bad at all, you hear some roller type noise of it moving around, and some fan noises. I wouldn't think it would wake up kids in the next room, unless maybe you crash real hard. Makes a little bit more noise with hard crashes where it moves and jerks all around real fast.

[@mamefan]

Neon light behind you?

[@RenderedReality]

That's the Govee Glide light, I'm a big fan of the Govee stuff!!

[@0verfiend]

Do they have anything for a console? Like GT7 and pSVR2?

[@RenderedReality]

Yep, I got GT7 on PS5 working with the Yaw 2. Pretty awesome, can't wait for my psvr2 to show up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laS8naODrbN9ldk

[@MeGuess_Adventures]

How are the calling their brand Yaw but the unit doesn’t Yaw( means turn left and right)

[@RenderedReality]

There original version does have yaw, this version has available Yaw just not on my version lol

[@konradmankowski7241]

INFO!! for those interested, the waiting time for the product is 1 year at the moment! What is on the website I think is not true. The company pledged to supply 1,300pcs products 9.2021 so far only a few people have received the product, this is what it really looks like. I paid the money on 7.6.2021 and so far nothing, all the time just some explanations and no particulars. Please keep that in mind before ordering this product and find out well when you will receive the product you will pay for !!!

[@RenderedReality]

Unfortunately kickstarters rarely ever deliver on the dates they originally claim. At least they are getting them out. Does stink to have to wait though for sure!!

[@konradmankowski7241]

With all due respect my friend, but I cannot agree with you! Natural and understandable that you have to wait, but what they post on the website and show on the internet is not true. Do you really think those people who order the equipment now thanks to your opinion will receive it early next year? I don't think so, my colleague who is number 70 around he should have received the equipment two months ago, and what and nothing!!! We have been asking for weeks to tell the truth what is happening, there is no answer! They still have about 1,200 simulators to do and for a year they were able to produce maybe 70 no one knows because they are not telling the truth! It is not about acting to the detriment of the company but it's about people knowing what's going on. Would you like to freeze your money for a year or 2? Please, if you advertise something, advertise it in detail! Hope I didn't offend you my friend!

[@gunslinger9171]

I hope they kick up the production at the rate they are going it is going to take another year to ship out the kickstarters not even talking about everyone else...

[@AbideinChristFully]

Can you feel bumps in the road, and the curbs?

[@RenderedReality]

Yep, you can it has built in rumble, so you can definitely feel bumps in the road, hitting curbs, rumble strips. Feels really awesome.

[@AbideinChristFully]

@@RenderedReality Thank you for the reply! One more thing...can you feel the tires "churping" around certain turns? I definitely can feel it in my T300.

[@TrevorJones1]

I avoided clicking this video until now because I'm a backer with the same configuration as you and was afraid you would say it sucked. How's the noise level. I have a neighbor below me in a house.

[@RenderedReality]

The noise level really isn't bad at all, it makes some noise with real quick snappy movements. You can turn the power level down though to reduce some of that. I would definitely do a think rubber mat underneath it, if your worried about neighbors below. Just in case.

[@isagopetso422]

4:00 😂😂😂😂😂

Haha right??? Freaked me out 🤣🤣 definitely should have set those limits before going in to a roller coaster game lol

[@RenderedReality]

Haha for sure!!

[@fleetc]

Did you try with vibration?

[@RenderedReality]

Yeah, it has vibration built in, that can be turned on or off. It really adds to the road feel, and the rumble of the car.

[@fleetc]

@@RenderedReality Sounds good. Would love to try one. For space or flight sims it would be amazing.

[@bluebell1]

I appreciate your love for this product but between the Yaw not shipping with all the parts, you having to modify the accessories and the software not working well out of the box and having to pay for the software it seems like an expensive product that needs work! I can say I love my BHaptic vest. It doesn’t seem to be too much work for me. Thanks for the quick first impression!

[@RenderedReality]

Well my hope is they will get all the kinks worked out, since its a new product, mine was a real early one. Luckily they are sending out everything to make it right.

[@bluebell1]

@@RenderedReality I agree but I’m of the mindset that when s product is shipped, all the problems should have already been resolved! I’m glad the company is standing by their product! Kudos to them! Hopefully they will work on this and make it a better product!

[@RenderedReality]

@@bluebell1 Agreed!!

[@Kumari_44]

@@bluebell1 youre right. If a priduct is not perfectly ready out the box, then it should *not* ship at all until it is! I do hope they work out the kinks though.

[@Lithonion1]

If I had the room, I wouldn't think twice about ordering one. I am thinking twice on how to make room for one. lol But ya, that seat wouldn't work for me. I am not a big person either but I know I would still feel those bars.

[@RenderedReality]

It's definitely worth it if you can find the space!! There are definitely better seats out there, so far mine is still holding up though.

[@JL-ik2vc]

Not on Discord but what happened to to bi-weekly/monthly shows? :)

[@RenderedReality]

It has been a crazy busy summer, they should be coming back soon though

[@JL-ik2vc]

@@RenderedReality VR has stagnated for a while now which has led to a severe lack of content to cover. No new hardware and nothing major in software which means it's more difficult for you folks to keep a show going and keep things interesting. Best to come back when Project Cambria launches in October (and hopefully with a new lineup of games such as GTA) and during the winter months when more folks are staying in as opposed to going out.

[@RenderedReality]

@@JL-ik2vc Yeah, looks like it will be a really good time to come back, right as things are picking back up!!

[@aarongarcia2911]

DOF Reality 3DOF version is cheaper. $2500 where the yaw2 is at $4k.

[@jaredflynn3750]

the price is not bad for such a crazy sim rig the only downside is if you're like me and lack the space in your room for it lol

[@RenderedReality]

Haha yeah, that's whi I didn't end up getting the 360 platform. Would have taken up more space due to needing the space to swing around 360.

[@baaamakingbaaaa]

At over 3k that's a LONG way from being the cheapest 3 dof rig. Still looks llike so much fun!!! It's sad to know that their quality control is non existent. Hopefully they get that worked out.

[@RenderedReality]

It was actually only $1,000 through kickstarter, and currently $1,500 on the website. Does show out if stock now though. I think they have gotten better with the qaulity control. Mine was a super early unit.

[@DMan-ud6bt]

@@RenderedReality The cheapest option they're selling now starts at $3080.

[@AndreSmith]

You really wanna have even more immersion, get a mobile vibrating back pad and you'll feel the motor as you sim

This actually has built in vibrations too, works really well!!!

[@stevetb7777]

@@RenderedReality It really does! I was so impressed when I tried it out. I still want to add more to it, extra channels of vibration for other signals.

Damn they made a safety feature an early bird/backer goal.. horrible they should just come with a kill switch that looked like you could have broken a leg..

Yeah, I think it should have come included for sure.

They are still shipping backer units at this point. They are available for pre order, but I'm not sure what they are saying the eta is at this point.

you need to switch it up from a g29 to a belt driven or DD wheel.

Yeah, I have boon looking at some Fanatec stuff. Just gets pricey!!

[@c.j2527]

@@RenderedReality yup i know but the realism doesn't compare to the g29.. you wanna get sucked into the world of sim racing. motion rig ,good VR like the G2 and a good wheel is the basics. G29 aint it. just like having Cardboard VR ,when it first came out compared to the G2. get it and you'll see. Fanatec aren't the only big boys when it comes to wheels. anyway, love your show and have a great day. BTW the heavy tilt would be GREAT for a flying sim like Microsoft Xplane

[@stevetb7777]

@@c.j2527 This is true.. but I'm positive on a motion platform the G29 is going to feel MUCH more realistic when you have all of the other senses and motions engaged as compared to a stationary setup.
