    I worked in flight simulation training in the business jet world for many years. I watched the tech start to change over from hydraulic to electric systems. This device is definitely a hobbyist or home version of what the big guys use. I'm sure both hard and software will continue to mature. The advent of affordable VR makes a huge positive difference as well. I loved training in and training others in the Simulators. I have a 6 DOF on order and look forward to getting it operational.

They sent me and upgrade email after I order asking did I want to upgrade to a P6, so I know they can change the order LOL. I am a gear head and I drive fast cars IRL and I started racing online last year and am amazed with the VR experience. I have a full Fanatec setup up and PSVR2. Its addicting to say the least.

    Great video Mark. I’m actually waiting on someone to get back with me on upgrading my rig. Haven’t heard anything yet . I have a feeling that you can’t upgrade mine and I have to purchase the whole new H6 but we’ll see. not having to brake encoders motors, making it difficult to mount the new motors on my platform and then I think I also have to upgrade my control box. And it would. Be really cool if they can come out with a VR theme park something close to Disney World I know they have roller coasters you could do in VR but I mean actually a theme park with some good graphics lol

Of course we won't know for sure until they have one but they certainly have put the effort in to this point so I don't see them giving up when they are so close to the finish line. Fingers Crossed! Wouldn't it be cool if Disney actually made a VR version of their biggest rides? Of course the game would probably cost as much as the H6 to run it :) Appreciate you being a long time supporter of the channel, remember to Get Your Game On!!!

      That is a whole thing in itself called "Motion Compensation", I've been working on a video on it for probably a year now and everytime I think I'm ready to finish it, something new comes out. There are a lot of factors that go into it, but needless to say you can remove the effect you are talking about.

    The only thing I'm missing from the H6 is continuous yaw like in the Yaw 3. Do you think it could be added in future DOF models, or as an update to existing models? It would make the whole experience more realistic, in race sims, coaster sims, flight sims...

    • @GYGOtv
      @GYGOtv  23 дня назад +1

      Actually the continuous Yaw does not add as much realism as you might think. Yaw rate is far more important than the actual rotation 360 degrees. Jeff Weaver and I discuss it in our latest video if you are interested in more info you can watch it here ruclips.net/video/c_GZ8W07ieg/видео.html Because of this, I doubt it will ever be a priority for DOF to add. Thanks for the comment.

      ​@@GYGOtv Thanks! Haha, I know what you think about the continuous Yaw :) I'm not saying that it's the most important thing. However I'm saying that it shouldn't be so difficult to implement (just a rotating base), and that any serious motion sim should have it among other features. If Yaw3 can have it for about $4K, then surely the H6 should have it for more than double the price. ;)

    • @GYGOtv
      @GYGOtv  22 дня назад

      @@JosedelaMancha Well not only what I think, but what Jeff Weaver thinks too and he has forgotten more about sim motion then we will ever know! So we can just agree to disagree, the benefit you get from it is far overshadowed by the downside of having to worry about wires getting wrapped up (or needing a good wireless option) from the 360 rotation, the need for the extra space needed for it to spin, etc. I personally don't think it is worth all the headaches it introduces... but for those that disagree, they can pick up a Yaw3, it would be perfect for them.

    • @JosedelaMancha
      @JosedelaMancha 21 день назад

      ​@@GYGOtv We don't necessarily disagree :) Having continuous yaw is always a "plus". You simply think that such "plus" is not worth the hassle, and I understand why (wires, space). But technically it's still a "plus", and if there were an easy way to add it, probably every manufacturer would be doing it. You can find continuous yaw in ridiculously expensive motion sims such as the Force Dynamics 401CR, and I think there's a reason for that: the "real thing" (continuous yaw) is always better (even if just slightly) than simulating the real thing.
      BTW some of the technical issues can be solved easily. For example wires. Wireless may not be an option yet, for many reasons. But having an onboard computer definitely is (in the back of the seat, or below the seat, or below the feet, it all depends on the sim). If the computer rotates too, then the problem is solved. As for space, I know a rotating sim may take up more space. But it's not a lot (e.g. the Yaw3 only requires 6.5" diameter or 200cm). Surely people who are able to invest that much money in a sim can find a way to get such space. I certainly can.
      I also think it depends on games. Maybe you're not a fan of driving sims or games where continuous yaw makes a difference. I feel that the physical sensation is not the same with continuous yaw, but I'm not an expert and I haven't had the chance to try all available motion sims.
      As for the Yaw3, it's far from perfect, but it's improving with every new iteration (e.g. it's way more silent than the Yaw2). It still lacks some of the H6 features (it has less DOF), but it's also way cheaper. And maybe the missing DOF can be added someday. They are translational DOF, so probably easier to add than rotational DOF. We live in an exciting era, and I'm curious to see what the future brings. :)
