We Tried The YAW VR Motion Simulator And It's Awesome!

[@CasandChary]

EDIT: Check out episode #2 on Yaw VR Sim Racing → kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHvYk6hmoZ6pn9U Do we have any simulation enthusiasts in our midst? Let us know if the YAW VR motion simulator is something you would get! It's good for our stats if you watch the entire video, but for those in lack of time, the timestamps are in the description! ♥

[@TheMoonKingdom]

Wow, that seems intense! I wonder if this simulates flight simulators any differently than cars. For example, during the roller coaster do you experience negative Gs(stomach butterflies), when going down? If it does both + & - Gs; that's crazy. Also, would be interested in how this handles Vox Machinae or Phantom: Covert Ops:)

[@mavericklast2555]

If you take a motion simlutator and make it for home use I will by it and I hope they make backwards compatible. (I want to use it with tom clancy's H.AW.X

From watching multiple videos, it seems that the factory default wheel column is not sturdy enough and is also too short. This seems like a pretty good start for DIY motion simulator but it doesn't seem like a finished product to me.

[@thevrparty9535]

Great Video Cas, I got mine a few months back and was super pleased with how easy it was to set up and use.

[@BrainSlugs83]

@1:47 those are called omni-wheels. They are probably what drives the rotation. You can create rotation in any direction without turning the wheels by just spinning them at different ratios and speeds.

[@rsmusicparis]

I can't help but wondering, if your back is secured tight to the back panel of the Motion Sim?? (11:30) (Cause I see a belt but is it enough ??) It feels like your back wants to offset back to vertical. Do you feel 'attached' to the back panel or is it loose ? if it is well-attached then the motors must be really strong, if it more loose then it would feel less immersive but would less likely break etc..

[@PinkGirl2242]

The belt is fitted to the mounting bracket at the back under the seat padding. The motors are very powerful at 120w x3 for the pro version and 100w x3 for the standard version I believe.

[@rsmusicparis]

@@PinkGirl2242 Are you gonna buy it ?

[@OleMartinHandeland]

Wow, I'm so jelly!! Would love to see how you manage the cable when this thing rotates. Also kinda sad I didn't jump on this during the kickstarter, which I really thought about doing.

[@axelgomez835]

Great video, nice surprise to see the Yaw VR I have wanted to see content about it for some time. For Assetto Corsa does the seat keep the same direction (focus north) or does it turn around changing the direction the same way a car does it in a circuit?

[@CasandChary]

Focus north I think. But I had an angle limit on of 12 degrees on the roll. There are a lot of settings to play with, the YAW community has given me a lot of tips so will report back. Thanks for the question, this will help knowing what to test!

[@silenthashassin8912]

Lmfao Chary is really enjoying that rollercoaster sim. That device looks extremely fun and exhilarating, I can only imagine what it’s like playing a flight sim.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Were you able to make the Yaw VR motion compensation to work accurately? It seems that most reviewers had to strap a VR controller to the headrest to get the motion compensation to be accurate enough not to drift.

[@xfer43]

Curious. Watching the racing simulator, I did not notice the simulator turning with the vehicle. Does this unit work well with the turns, in order to simulate the g-forces of vector changes?

[@TKs3DPrints]

do you still have the unit after a year. is it still running well. have you had any problems with it. has anything broken would be good for a rereview after a year :) do you use it daily etc. :)

I don't think I'm in the market for a Yaw VR but it was nice to watch anyways. Maybe some day I'll get one. Note to self: If ever in Holland, don't get in a car with Cas or Chary if they are driving [})... I joke, I jest.

[@cyborgty]

For the games in this video, was the yaw set to '0'? To play games with yaw motion, did you have to use motion compensation?

[@gabhranseitheach8640]

I would be curious seeing how this chair works with something spacesim, like Everspace, especially while rolling.

Nicely demonstrated. Thanks!

[@lukasmacedo1]

Very good first impressions. The price point is actually not bad. I got the PC , VR, wheel, pedals just for racing sims, my next obviuos step is to get a cockpit, this could be it. Please, test again with a wheel, Cas! I also can only imagine flight sims and Elite Dangerous with it... Looping should be interesting!

Don't quote me on this but I don't think it supports pedals as heavy as even g29's.

Looks great and great video. But can you turn down the settings, seems over exaggerated when "sending it" or braking. Alos noticed there wasn't much YAW when taking turns?? Just wondering if these settings can be changed? Thanks again.

This YAW VR motion looks to have nailed the seating -driving, flying reasonably well. I will save up a bit and seriously look into getting this later in the year.

And did you buy it?

[@guru332]

Was there any lateral forces being simulated in the VR Racing games? It only looked like acceleration and braking were simulated, but the lateral forces caused by steering didn't seem to be noticeable in the video.

[@CasandChary]

I just posted a video about racing with the Yaw simulator. I hope that helps? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHvYk6hmoZ6pn9U What forces are simulated depends on the game + software connection. There's a lot of freedom to set it up yourself too if a game allows it.

[@jbr600]

Looks awesome! 😲💕I wonder if they added a fan attachment to blow air according to which game you play like car racing or roller coaster etc. You could probably put your own fan in front just for a more immersive experience😁

[@PinkGirl2242]

They are currently working on a smart power extension strip that connects to the yawvr. So you can plug a normal fan or three fans and the smart plug will configure in game aka no limits 2 etc by the yawvr game engine.

[@Wooskii1]

I can't wait for the full review! I'm a huge Sim fan (I started building my own, before VR even existed, but I moved and had to give it up) How does cornering feel while racing? I see the pitch for acceleration/ braking, but I didn't see much roll in the turns (lateral G's are just as important for a motion Sim!) I'm REALLY thinking about getting one (I even have a space set aside) if I can get a couple racing games working 100% I'll be sold. The compatibility, support, and user licenses are a bit confusing, other than that, the only thing holding me back is that, the durability and long term support are unknown...

[@aspiregamingzone2380]

I woul like to buy it so where I can find them and how much it cost??

[@B10HaZaRD]

That's some good bang for the buck. Does the device have to be anchored to the floor in anyway or does it provide it's own counter weight?

The virus came, I dusted off my gear and started playing again, especially VTOL VR and potentially DCS. You repeatedly say that the setup is difficult.

Great review, as always! I have been looking at this for a while. I play Elite Dangerous (Space flight sim) and think it would be spectacular with a game like that. I have a few racing sims as well, and it would be fun for those too. I am looking forward to you hopefully doing a review of the Kat Walk C treadmill for VR. I believe they are going to KickStarter soon. Now I need to scour your history and see if you do a review of the wireless setup for the Vive. Thanks for your great VR vids!

[@VanGohman]

Watch those bumps Chary! Be careful you two. Keep your arms inside the vehicle at all times. :D

[@DjBasA38]

isn't the YAW VR also capable of rotating you 360 degrees? I saw Linus do that while also doing something so your head doesn't get moved into the seat in the car for example when it pitches you back and forth, with the playspace (more or less) also rotating with you when you rotate left and right in the simulator. while the price is definitely too much for me to afford, i will keep an eye on the YAW VR, hoping it is able to become cheaper in the future.

[@PinkGirl2242]

Yaw axis is infinite spinning but I suggest using wireless hmd. If not then set limit to 1 rotation. Yawvr team are working on bringing the shell back to centre slowly when not rotating in the game.

[@CasandChary]

Yes it can, these were our first impressions so will be testing it more these coming weeks.

[@Chris-tu3xx]

I'm definitely getting one for my racing games and elite dangerous.

[@justaguydoinstuff]

I saw Linus's review and he said that it was incredibly painful to setup and really needs updates to their software to make it even remotely user-friendly. He had to update ini. files etc. to get it to work. Even had to tape a controller to the back of the headrest. Do you agree with this? I would like to get one, but not until it's a little easier to actually use...

[@CasandChary]

I don’t agree with him on everything but he had some good points. The manual isn’t consumer friendly, nor the software. Although once setup, it works well for me! This depends on the game though. And I don’t know why he needed that controller - I didn’t need it. But more testing is coming later on the channel. Will report back!

[@JoeBlowUK]

I hope the wok is teflon non-stick. 🤔

[@jakkudemoff3043]

I want to be a simulator enthusiast so badly but is this really consumer ready? And it seems theres not much game support which is unfortunate for the investment, but it sounds like you had a magical experience.

[@Chris-xo2rq]

I'm concerned that it wasn't rolling when you turned in Assetto Corsa... Was there something wrong with your setup? It should roll left and right when you steer the car, not just pitch forward and back with acceleration and braking.

[@justsomeguy8385]

$1,500 is kind of a steep asking price, but I would totally pay that if I knew it would last for 5+ years and have good support for cockpit games. But I can see this breaking within a year and not having much support due to the low install base.

[@jnickence]

Looking at the base, it uses disused mouse ball tracking tech! I'd bet that you could download old Logitech mouse drivers to get smoother tracking.

[@RajPatel-rj2ff]

I would love to see movable foot pedals for aircraft rudder, or vehicle accelerator and brakes in simulators.

[@makbar59]

I wonder how this compares to the 3 DOF Reality system which is one of the cheapest motion Sims you can get. It's about the same price as the Pro version of the Yaw. Good to see competition anyway.

[@macmusica]

1 QUESTION: Did they allow a Short Cable to attach to the seat for wired headsets like RIFT S and the new HP REVERB G2? IF NOT: They seriously failed big time!!! *I see now that 360degrees is an option somehow so wired headsets are fine! *£400 for a headrest no thanks!!

[@zentriceggofficial]

I would buy one for flight Sims. I think it's the most compact motion platform. Ideally it would have some up/down shake motion as well though for maximum realism. At a very minimum I'd want a powerful vibration seat integrated.

I'm a simulator fan as well as a VR fan..!!! 😉👍 Thanks for reviewing and sharing your experience with this device..!!! 👌😎🤘

[@winny625]

IT will need USB and power cable pass through ports that plug into the top part and extension cables to come out at the bottom base part to the PC and it will also need the same for power to make FFB steering wheels and joysticks not get tangled cables when it goes 360 degrees. Otherwise make Bluetooth wireless controllers or wait for sim racing wheel and joystick manufacturers to make em.

[@LunaJLane]

Looks really interesting. I would love to try it out eventually when I have more space.
