Shack Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Details? Video of the operation? Did you run separate power? How long did it take you to assemble it? 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.

prccowboy Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Had to run two separate 20 amp circuits. I've had this on my x-mas list, but I think the 2 dedicated 20a circuits is a deal breaker in my current house. I wonder what the p3/h3 requirements are? Anyway, interested in hearing more feedback when you have more time with it: response time, smoothness, noise, immersion factor, even if it helps with inner ear balance and VR...

Shack Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 I've had this on my x-mas list, but I think the 2 dedicated 20a circuits is a deal breaker in my current house. I wonder what the p3/h3 requirements are? Anyway, interested in hearing more feedback when you have more time with it: response time, smoothness, noise, immersion factor, even if it helps with inner ear balance and VR... 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.

FADEC Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Shack, Couple of questions, I see that you are using a HP REVERB, did you have to mess with motion cancelation or anything like that? Also you need two separate outlets each on a dedicated 20amp breaker? Thanks, again looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

bigjoe4265 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 $6000+, LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y905 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Wow Wow Wow, amazing, this looks fantastic and 6000 bucks for this awesome machine sounds not so much for me, some guys spent more money for a watch, wish i can convince my wife that i upgrade my pit with this 6 dof :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y905 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 no i dont, but a good hotas costs around 400 bucks so again 6000 for this machine sounds a fair price, if you try to build one yourself you see how expensive the parts are, i buid a gseat by myself and only the hardware costs 600 bucks but can not nearly compared to this great rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streakeagle Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hi, No motion cancellation required for the reverb. How does the VR headset not react to the motion of the seat? i.e. how does it differentiate movement of your head versus movement of the seat?

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.

Shack Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 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.

Marky146 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Crazy to be selling it dude. I've just got mine, and can confirm the 20A is because you are on 110V in the US. In the UK or Europe, where we run 220V you'll only pull half the current so a normal domestic 13A outlet is fine to use. My rig is still sat in it's box till I clear some space to set it up. DofR box these things up beautifully. It's almost a work of art in itself.. The steel parts are welded well, drilled squarely and the powder coating is first rate. Really lovely crackle finish. I'm very impressed. Best part is you can start with a H3/P3 and upgrade later. The price is about the same for all or in two parts, except for postage which will cost you twice. I went for the P6. My main problem is the seat interface, as I struggled with the fore/aft distance of the mounts. a 6mm alloy plate will solve that. Running a Rift S I need some decent way of cancelling motion. Not sure it's as easy as the Reverb. Clevo P775TM1-G laptop with 9900K and RTX2080. Airliner pilot by day and keen simmer on days off. Mark.
