There is no way I can build what I want (RTX 3090 GPU) at a reasonable cost right now with the lack of 3090's on the market.

Im in the market for a new customized Gaming Desktop. Any manufacturers to stay away from ? I've bought an Area 51 from Alienware (Dell) and wasnt too impressed ... thanks for the input !

You may want to look at DOFreality.com. I have the P6 and along with VR provides a good representation of actually flying.

Issue got fixed - I kept trying new USB ports and finally it appeared in my DCS Options menu.

I have an issue whereby my AA modes are automatically selected at any time .... I could be in any phase of flight and my Aim 9 / Sparrow / Gun mode gets automatically selected. I thought it might be a Stick issue with my F18 Stick and replaced it with my Warthog stick and same issue. Any ideas or help on how to correct this would be welcome.

It shows in Control Panel but not in DCS. This is a new issue - never occurred before ...

All other devices including Warthog throttle and rudder pedals detected fine but Joystick no longer seen in setup options screen. using non steam version. any ideas ?

Any F-16 Warthog profiles ( non Target ) ?

Anyone have any experience with fitting a 3080 / 3090 into an Alienware Area 51 Chasis ?

Hey Havok - I just ordered the LeapMotion, can you outline what you did to make it functional within DCS ? thanks

I’m thoroughly enjoying flying this 6 DOF motion platform. Combined with VR, It’s the best home flying setup I’ve ever had. However, as I’m going to be moving in 6 months ( along with the multitude of logistics involved ), in addition to my being overseas for long stretches of time, I’m considering the sale of this setup. If you may be interested, message me. It would be a local pickup only ( no shipping ) in the Orlando Florida area. Price would be cost for the components shown in the photos above. Interested parties PM me. Shack.

A good ( 6 axis ) motion platform would be a minimum of about $15,000. IMHO, the compromise between the cost for a motion based platform and a home based VR simulation experience makes DOF Reality platforms a good solution.

Better explained than I can do ...

Hi, No motion cancellation required for the reverb. Looks amazing as is. Catapult launches and landings are amazing. I launched my wife off in an F18 and I got the " holy cow" reaction .... :megalol: You definitely feel the carrier deck below you as you accelerate and the second the gear clears the carrier. In terms of electrical power, yes I had to put both motion boxes on two separate 20 amp circuits as each box could draw a peak 15 amps causing my house breaker to trip. By using two circuits of 20 amps, that shouldnt be an issue. Of course, it depends which platform you use as different boxes have different power requirements.

Here are some DOF Reality platform videos in operation. https://dofreality.com/media/ Response time - Very good and customizable in the Sim Racing Tools software. Noise - minimal. Not heard at all. These are electric motor actuator rods. Not as smooth as pneumatic actuators ( but those are Extremely loud every time they move ) and hyper expensive. Immersion Factor is immense - especially when in VR. While in the VR world as you pitch roll or yaw, you feel it in as if you would in a real aircraft. Very realistic here ( retired airline pilot here with 35 years and lots of experience from where I can base my opinion from). Inner ear balance - Not an issue, in fact I think the sense of movement, along with the visual VR cues, tend to REDUCE and not Increase Nausea. This platform is a P6 with 6 axis DOF. There are other platforms where the electric power requirement is not as much.

Had to run two separate 20 amp circuits. Took about 4 hours to assemble. I’ll try to post videos of operation, till then they’re are plenty in YouTube under Dof reality H6 or P6.

Recently assembled a new 6 axis platform from DOF Reality … Initial impressions when flying now in VR are OMG ! imghost

Being able to input random malfunctions makes DCS jump from a game to a real flight simulator. Being able to train in DCS to recover a jet with a damaged engine after launch is very cool indeed.

Thanks for showing. That seems very useful. I still havent figured out how do you write on both kneeboards by using only one tablet ?

Not sure I follow .. can you send a pic of what you mean? Sounds like something useful. When I get home in a week or so, I'll try and create a video on the dual tablet setup - at least the little that I know !

Spent some time with Rider on his discord ( He’s a patient man ! ), and got me setup with dual H640P kneeboards. VRK is just superb and a much needed DCS program.

Appreciate the info.

Reverb with Leapmotion I understand that the Reverb integrates well with Leapmotion hand motion controllers. Can anyone provide any feedback ?

Super nice product you have here Rider ! Really glad I found this. As I shop for a tablet and Pen, I'd like to be able to hand swipe through pages. Does any Tablet with touch support allow for this through the VRK software ? What are the recommended tablets and Pens from you ? I see that the H640P has been recommended, but don't believe that it has touch support ? I'm also interested in Leap Motion integration ( I sub'd to your youtube channel showing the future integration potential ). Any consideration to implementing Haptic feedback through Leap as well? thanks again and will be donating for this great product ! Shack
