Next Level Motion + Traction platform & DCS

[Brainfreeze]

Not sure anyone has had a chance to test the motion platforms from Next Level.   Designed for cars but they advertise it for flight sims too ... haven't seen a single feedback from users though.

 

If someone had a chance to try the Motion AND the traction platform I'd love to hear feedback? Seems super cool but then it always looks cool on the sales leaflet

I'm building a flight sim ejection seat platform on the NLR V3. 

 

Ongoing project. Yesterday the V3 started to fuck around tho with error messages of some fans running at "too low speeds", causing the rest of the fans within the platform to spin out on max speed all of the time. To be continued... I have some parts still to build out of my motion ejection seat flight rig. But getting there, it's been taking me around a year, building from time to time since receiving the V3 almost a year ago soon. Very satisfied this far. But hasn't been too many flight hours as of yet tho :/

Gosh is that not too heavy for the platform???  looks awesome...and BIG! Reliability is indeed a key point...got to be running like a tank.   F14 pilot I see!

It's been lying pretty well this far actually. I'm a tiny guy around 70 kilograms, and the V3 can handle up to 130 kilograms of wight in total. It's mostly built in aluminium and some light weight wood materials. I'm still tweaking it a bit and now it's been a while since flying. I also have some new Winwing take off and combat panels coming up. Installing those and then, hopefully my newly operated kne will be fit for flight as well again

 

I'll be putting up more outside view videos in the future on my YouTube

Looks great, so no problem with the balance by adding the pedal support? Motors stay cool?
I'm looking at this, but dof reality seems better value.
There's not many dcs users out there, even less (none) that can compare the products.

Actually no problems at all, I was afraid/expected that it might couse som unbalance but I've had no problems at all so far. The motors stay cool, not sure what caused the fan hickup mentioned above but with some update versions of the platform manager and the firmware everything is back to normal again. Fan works as before and the motors stay cool

Do you get surge with this or is it the missing axis?
