I actually get the same effect with my poorly constructed static sim. My chair is so wobbly I get motion for free.

Now you just need to get someone to "move" your chair in relation to what the screen shows and you are all set!

[@saxhorn1508]

@@GYGOtv - Great idea. Hire a kid to watch the monitor and wiggle the chair. At minimum wage you could save money in the long run. For a little extra, he could solve the motion compensation problem by twisting your head when you bank.

Since I've done my own DIY motion rig I'll never never come back to a static-mode flight sim. The VR+motion combo is the biggest jump I've done in videogames and simulators. Thousands of times more than the jump we saw from the 8 bits 2D games to 3D games in the 90's

Hope you will not have the same problems like I have. I wait over 5 weeks on my P6, finally arrived, but came with a not working motherboard. Now I must wait again until they sent me a new one. Little bit frustrating. But maybe you have more luck, because luck is what you need on this DOF motion sims.✌️

Love the honest summary, a motion rig after VR is imho the last stage before the real thing so no matter what rig anyone gets it will always be a worthwhile investment. Thanks for sharing Steve!

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

I'm glad you mention the faffing. It seems, if I ever get a new chair/racing sim, I will go with this for the motion rig + chair + wheel stand. "Faffing" is the reason I don't use VR (other than it not looking good enough & being comfy enough, at my price point)

[@letsgobrandon6545]

I did not know about these guys before your 1st video about this subject. Since that time I have received my P3 and it is simply amazing that such a thing is available at the mass market. Pitch roll angles are massive and really throws you out. Not without its problems during install but once everything is dialed in it's the biggest game changer for any sim flight or racing.

[@Cpen5311]

What problems did you encounter during installation?

[@letsgobrandon6545]

@@Cpen5311 Part of optical sensor on encoder was not properly attached, likely detached during shipping, easily fixable. The screw on the preassembled base was not tight, I had to check that before assembly that would save me quite some time. Firmware update is finicky had to disable serial port in BIOS.

[@Cpen5311]

@@letsgobrandon6545 thanks, I've noticed a lot of complaints about the newest firmware on discord. I'm not that tech-savvy and the 'plug and play' element was a huge incentive on getting the H2 - hopefully I can figure that update out when the time comes... lol

Another great honest review, thanks Steve, I wonder if you had the H3 (or god forbid the H6 for that matter!), if you would be like, ‘Could never go back to the H2!’

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thanks mate for being so supportive :) It would be interesting for sure!

[@kevinbrook7033]

I'm still definitely interested in this. My job changed last week as the the NHS funded company I work for lost the contract to deliver the service we've been delivering for the past 15 years so we've been transferred to another company so I don't want to make any big financial decisions until this has all settled but I think this year I'll resist the urge to buy any more headsets or PC tech so I can save up and probably get the H3. I feel like yaw will be worthwhile for rudder pedal control. I love that plate you have that allows the yoke and throttle quadrant to be in front of you, and having a joystick mount as well on the side.

[@thomgizziz]

how often do you use the rudder??? It shouldnt be a high percentage of any of your flights. Yaw is more important for racing sims.

[@scr33tch]

There's a bit more faf with the H6, but it's a night and day improvement over not having motion. I do spend some time in SRS tuning profiles, particularly with high power aircraft; I'm still very much a beginner! Flying the Spitfire out of Duxford with a windy and turbulent day was throwing me all over the place! Not having issues with motion compensation personally.

[@scr33tch]

I've been using my H6 for over a week now, I'm using one of Jeff Weaver's SRS profiles (for subscribers) for MSFS, pretty good all round. I'm surprised that I'm not really having any motion compensation issues, and I like to throw the Bush planes about a bit in turbulence and force the odd stall. It has its quirks, and I've had to press the emergency stop button a few times when I inadvertently got into stormy weather, but on the whole I have to agree, it's a game changer for flight sim.

[@jordovevrsims1796]

Jeff’s profiles are my go to as well. They are good starting pointings even for non-DOF Reality rigs.

[@justaguydoinstuff]

@@jordovevrsims1796 Hey Jordova! Love your vids with the Yaw2. Anyone that doesn't know, Jordova has his own channel featuring the Yaw2 if you want to check it out. Still waiting for mine to show up, but it looks like it's going to be a while now...

I own the same rig and I agree 100 percent with you in all aspects.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thanks Blitz 👍

[@markm75]

Curious which SRS profile you ended up using for MSFS, or do you have multiple ones depending on the type of aircraft, or did you custom make them all?

[@GYGOtv]

Awesome video as always. I think a lot of the stuttering you are feeling is from the lower resolution encoders on the rig. I know DOF is working on Digital versions, but they are probably still too low of resolution to take out what you are feeling. Give it time, DOF is ALWAYS improving the product. Also, did you get your WinMotion box yet for Motion Comp or are you trying something else?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thanks buddy! :) I think considering the price it's to be expected. I have been fiddling around with the software since this video and I've got a much better setting for GA type flying now. I find it remarkable how well the platform reacts to turbulence, the feeling of landing etc is so close to the real thing now.

[@MrPXOMan]

Thank you so much for your content! Looking at getting the H2 because of your videos! Lol! Really waiting for the motion compensation tutorial! So far I have only found content that needs SteamVR to work. It would be great if SimRacing supported the WIT with OpenXR! The simplest solution is definitely plugging a device to the motion rig and then pushing a button on SimRacing! Hehehe! I have also been seeing that less is more for VR, so another solution for the H2, would be to simply reduce the range of movement.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thankyou and congrats! I'll have something to share very soon!

My pleasure Justin, I have links in the notes above with a special discount code too! Cheers :)

[@simonbryant3828]

Hi, what would a complete setup similar to yours cost? including everything VR/Rig/Seat/PC etc..

[@drpenguin57]

I'm glad you mentioned the "mechanical" feeling at slow speeds, because I was noticing the same thing and wasn't sure if it was normal or not. When I first assembled it I had the motors on the wrong side and they slammed the seat back when I first turned it on and they started getting warm, so I was worried that I'd broken something. After fixing the problem It's been working great though. I turned on a little bit of engine haptics so the rig rumbles slightly when the engines are on, which smooths out the slow speed bumpiness a bit I think, or at least makes those bumps blend into the rumble of the engine anyway.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

That's a great tip thanks. I also find having a haptic seat helps too. I'm glad you are enjoying your new motion rig. Try flying without it, you will instantly miss it :)

[@drpenguin57]

@@VRFlightSimGuy yeah trying to fly without it feels weird. it makes crashing genuinely terrifying now too lol

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

@@drpenguin57 Exactly lol

[@BrodyHiggerson]

Been following your videos on this rig! In trying to decide H2 vs H3, your mention of this "yaw" feeling is interesting. Could you possibly try helicopters, like in DCS, and show what that looks like for yaw? And if that will take a while, even describing what it's like here? DOF Reality said their sale will last for another week so trying to figure it out! Cheers. EDIT: How was the balancing for you? The instructions make it sound like you need a small crew to adjust it and lift it without motors to nail the balance point! Curious what it's like as you load up the equipment on the front e.g. the yoke.

[@hoopdaboop]

You raise a good point about the mechanics being exposed with pets and kids around. DOF also do a much nicer metal surround for $300

[@oliverf944]

Motion compensation is an easy fix if you’re using base stations. So ideal with your pimax set up. A dedicated tracker or hand controller configured to tracker is mounted to the rig. It automatically compensates the motion with a steam plug-in.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Only one issue there is, I prefer Open XR :)

[@MikeInExile]

@@VRFlightSimGuy I'm gonna run into the same issue -- I prefer Open XR. My motion platform just shipped _today,_ but I'm already on the prowl for a viable motion compensation solution that will work with the P6, Open XR, a Pimax 8KX, and a single Lighthouse Base Station. Spending time _actually flying_ in the simulator is only _half_ of the 'fun' as it turns out! ;-)

Yeah I've been thinking of mention sim for a while now but price of 1000's has always put me off . Looking at this though it's not so far off what i have already spent on pc upgrade VR head set & controllers . Have always been trying to get a close to real as possible without breaking the bank . When i first bought & tried my G2 it just blow me away then you get use to VR & want more & i think looking at your review this would add that extra . Thanks so much for your reviews . 👍

[@dawudmc]

sometimes my G2 is stuck to 3 DoF, the i have to press Win+Y, but this bug could be used to compensate motion of a rig like the H2 or more sophisticated SFX-100

[@nlagesson]

Thanks for a great channel! You have actually helped me to come to the conclusion that I need an H2. Though I struggle a bit on what add-ons I need. Especially when it comes to the monitor mount. I use the monitor in some cases when I fly, say about 30-40% of the time. The rest is VR. Now I'm trying to decide if it's actually worth buying both the SFU upgrade and the wheels to get the monitor mount (since that's what's required)? Or, is it just as good to keep the screen on a static standard mount?

[@BrodyHiggerson]

I looked into this. Go for the SFU gearboxes from what everyone's said with before/afters. The wheels you don't need for the monitor mount - I spoke to DOF Reality about that as it's confusing. They're just referring to a different design for the frame where a steering wheel would go. All new orders have this new "wide wheel base" in the design, no extras required.

[@nlagesson]

@@BrodyHiggerson Thanks a lot! That's very valuable information.... now I know exactly what to order... 👍😀 ... can't wait to get it up running!

[@davidwaVR]

If you're using openxr toolkit you can get rid of a lot of that stuttering issue, they have it under inputs. You can turn it up and it will get rid of stutters from your rig or heartbeat

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean? If you are referring to the movement in the video, I don't see that in the headset.

[@mikewauge7440]

I ordered the H3 over two weeks ago and they thanked me for my order and received payment. I haven't heard anything since. I checked and verified that it has not shipped.

I’m now looking at other ways to ship it… I contacted them and asked, the only thing they said is that they are so much cheaper than other rigs the price is still cheap but that doesn’t help me cost wise!… I was hoping they would have a slow delivery option like by ship or something like that rather than expensive DHL etc…. one day I’ll get one…

@@Cpen5311When you first setup your H2 or H3 you want to try and BALANCE it to some degree. There is a pivot point on the chair and you want the front, rear, and each side to be fairly close in weight. Don't throw everything on the front and expect your rig not to groan under the strain. There is a lot of benefit to balancing your rig correctly. Your motors last longer, your rig will respond quicker, and there is less strain on the rig overall. I have had my H3 with the SFU gearboxes for over a year. I have played as long as 6 hours in it non-stop and my motors never got above 25 degrees C. This is what correct balancing can achieve.

[@zorbakaput8537]

Your comments reflect many others on electro-mechanical rigs the judder and stiction they create. You have to pay much more to remove it and it is also why the pro rigs are electro-hydraulic. As you correctly pointed out you won't do much better at the budget end of the motion rig scale.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thanks for this, that's really good to know 👌

[@reckett]

I'm scratching my head regarding the direction of roll that the rig interprets. Firstly, a balanced turn is a 1g manoeuvre, therefore you don't feel any roll. If you throw a wing over quickly, your body is pushed in the other direction to the turn (think of pulling your car wheel hard one way which throws you in the other direction), so I'm not getting why this rig rolls left when you do a left turn ...also, a hard pull back on the yoke should force your head down and be simulated by a pitch forwards, followed by a gentle recline once inertia has changed. I don't see the compensation for inertia of the body, centrifugal force or gravity. It looks backwards to me. It is a complex set of subtle motions to simulate correct movements. Maybe I'm assuming too much from the software.

[@caliboy7654]

Thanks for the informative video! Your thoughts on the H2 vs H3 or H6 for flight simulation? Need to add haptic chair pad?

Hi Cali, firstly congratulations on embarking on your dream of becoming a real world pilot, that must be such a great feeling. I can't really say for sure since I have not tried a H3 or H6, I did however try a 3DOF motion rig when I went to see Varjo (with added heave), but to be honest I don't feel like I'm missing that extra movement. I'd love to try a 6DOF rig someday though! In regards to the haptic seat, I use the SRS one with 6 powerful transducers. I'll have a video out soon trying both the motion rig AND haptic seat (so far I've had little time to experiment with both), so stay tuned for that video coming soon. Take care.

It takes a lot of setting up but totally worth it.What I would say is make sure u get the sfu gearboxes (I think they come as standard now but not sure) when I got mine it had the standard gearboxes and it wasn't good so upgraded to sfu gearboxes and fitting them was a bit tricky. Good luck 👍

[@jesusrdz4091]

@@melvyns1975 hey, I appreciate the advice… I think as soon as I get that I’ll ask you some questions about the setup.. I know every single system should be different, but with a starter setup may be a lot easier to me after all… if that’s ok with you …. Thanks a lot for everything and enjoy the races !! 🫡

I have a 50W Bass Shaker. It's enough.

Vibration is nice, but does not compete against real motion. Having both is best.

[@geraldstraney6181]

I bought this platform mainly on your review. I paid $400 extra for the SFU upgrade. The movement in the C172 in plane is very juddery. The people at DOF reality are "studying" the problem but have no solution. I didn't pay $2,000+ to be their R&D tester. Please be more thorough in you reviews. If you've found a solution the achieves smooth motion in standard turns, please tell us.

[@kiztime1234]

Did you get a result?

[@geraldstraney6181]

@@kiztime1234 No answer. Igor says they have a solution now but it looks expensive. There's a planetary gear solution from Robert Johnson but it only works with the sensor motors. Not so much of an issue for me after 200+ H2 hours.

[@ericveschi4904]

The problem if you are counting the cost of each elements, that you're approaching the cost of the flight licence. It's a difficult choice ^^

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Not even close, the cost of ownership responsibility and maintenance is not something everyone wants to endure

[@ericveschi4904]

@@VRFlightSimGuy But in a club, maintenance regarding the club not the user. But yes, there's a cost for each flight, more or less 2000€ per year to for the minimum to keep the licence

​@@ericveschi4904... And last time I checked, I can't fly thousands of different aircraft types all over the world without paying a dime for the gas ;) I love real world flying too, but this easily scratches the itch for the experiences that would be otherwise unobtainable

[@bakzetary3145]

If your young and can afford it, definitely get a real pilot's licence! A sim will always be there for you! Still love to fly but can't pass the physical anymore sadly:( As a previous owner of both relatively cheap, (Beechcraft Musketeer) and expensive (Cessna 172) Ownership is great "for awhile" but if you don't have a lot of extra cash the throw around, (and retirement is well established) like you said join a club/rent etc would be best advice. My wife at the time knew exactly my plan for the day was when I said, "Honey, going out for a $500.00 hamburger, want to come?". (She became annoyed when it turned into a $1000+ hamburger run, LOL!

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

​@@bakzetary3145 I totally agree, you'll never, ever beat the real thing. But boy aren't we getting closer and closer ;)

Wow so expensive to own it 😢

[@TBMPilot736]

Good morning! I'm looking into buying a PC and the VARIO Aero Headset, could you please give me a quick "thumbs up" if you think the system below will meet the requierements for a smooth flying experience? AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, 4.5-5.7 GHz, 16 Cores / 32 Threads Cool & Silent Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero with USB 4 and Wifi 64 GB DDR5-RAM, 4800 MHz, 2 x 32 GB Asus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 TUF OC, 24 GB GDDR6X 1 TB Kingston FURY Renegade Gaming M.2 SSD, PCIe Gen 4 Kind regards Andreas

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

That looks like a great system for the Aero 👍

[@stevebobowski3507]

I own an H3 and its definitely worth it. Do you have the upgraded gear boxes? Alot smoother with those Why do you have zip ties on your motors, steve?

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Thanks Steve, yes I have the SFU upgrade. The video showing the gearboxes is from the unboxing video a while ago don't worry :)

[@stevebobowski3507]

@@VRFlightSimGuy yeah, I was thinking those zip ties had to be place holders or something but had to ask, lol I'm sure you went through all the tunning settings in the srs software to smooth out the experience? Have you experimented with joystick mode? Lots of fun to be had in rogue squadrons when mapped properly.

So what you’re saying is you like it.
