Also the cost of a racecar point is so accurate. People always are suprised how much my sim stuff costs, and their other racers/drifters. Like I spend $4k for a couple out of state drift events. and that's not considering days of working on the car before and after, cost of the car, cost of the truck/trailer. etc. It's not the same as real life, but for the cost, you can't beat it.
I bought playstion vr , played dirt, bought a race seat wheel , shifter setup and am hooked. Your upload has literally just answered EVERY question I had about race sims .... cheers dude.
going to get one… only because the tracks aren’t open year round here. best video I’ve come across while looking for information 4 years later. great job.
At 17:00 you stated turn off traction slide out on flight sim but there is a yaw factor to consider and a setting because yaw is an ever present factor in flight crosswinds crabbing to land ground affect etc. So a 3 axis would be great, 6 would be stellar you get surge dive and turbulence with the extra 3 motors and dampers .... I haven't pulled the proverbial trigger yet ... might go p2 to p3 then upgrade later to 6 ... well see ...Great vid !!
Lol, my rig is one of the hand made, windshield wiper motor setups. Re: the safety strap - I once had my son on the rig, and he’s a big boy. The gimble that my rig was based on just snapped and the whole rig hit the ground with him in it. A redesign solved that problem, but it was scary at the time. Great review! I’m working on a job where I’ll be using this model for a customer and this was super helpful. Thanks!
An Incredible review. I enjoyed every minute watching as this is a totally new system. I first had the ProSimu looked up, but you mentioned a few issues i was concerned about and now I think i´ll rather pick up this one. Probably i will still wait a few month and safe some more money as the Pro-version would be my choice as well. A great Video over all!! Thank you!!
This is one of the best review videos I've watched. I was making my decisions between this dof p3 vs promisu t1000 vs NLR v3. Very glad I found your vid this pretty much answered every doubts I had. I'm completely new to this and was looking at entry sim racing options. I guess the only questions I have left now are pretty much the shipping cost comparisons. Thanks and blessings from hong kong.
Thanks for the review as I was thinking about a "bum mover" so you have saved me frrom an expensive mistake. Looking forward to starting out my simulator journey
Great video and detailed review. After seeing many reviews considering all aspects of the unit my unopened P3 is awaiting assembly in the garage. Can’t wait to set it up. Shipping and import duties was ridiculous to Sydney, however even when you consider this cost it is still the best value full motion rig on the market. For those whom compare NLR V3 to full motion they really are not comparable, but as they say each to their own preference. Keep up the great reviews on this rigs mods.👍
Hey mate, how much exactly was the import duties ? I am in Brizzy and looking at the dof P3 ... I hav been using NLv3 for past 3 years but this looks like might be what I want for traction loss.
Great video! I decided to build my own despite your recommendations and well, it turned out awesome! But yep DIY is not for everyone and as you say we seem to use the same software to control it. I'm very happy and even posted a build video or two on it. BIG THANK YOU my friend!! DMAX Motion Sim Channel
Amazing video bro , thank you for taking the time to make this , I am in the research of building my first motion simulator and your video just saved me a tone of money hahaha :))
Awesome video man, you knocked it out of the park! I have been looking at different motion rig options and dof reality has been at the top of my list, the price and performance seems second to none. So glad I found your video, thanks for such an in depth quality review. You helped me decide when I go motion I'll go with dof reality. Also I agree wreckfest is an absolute blast it's a shame they don't have the telemetry for motion or support for VR.
The post-purchase support that he mentions definitely seals the deal. I plan on getting one in maybe a year or so once I can free up the cash. This thing is awesome!
Hell yeah, thanks for the video. Almost all the other ones are foreign languages or just demos showing what it can do. Glad to see an in depth review, earned my sub good sir. Plan on getting one of these this year or next hopefully.
I just received my DOFReality H6. Feeling a bit of flex in the wheel deck. Also I’m big into flight sims. I love your 8020 setup. See you’re swapping between lots of different controllers. How are you doing this easily? DIY video for your custom controller deck? I think your 8020 deck would work with the H6/P6
Great Video ESR. I'm looking into motion simulators for the first time and this review was extremely helpful. Something i was listening out for was what size room you will need to be able to accommodate a motion simulator like this one. Granted your video gave a great view of your simulator in situ, but some minimum measurements would be very helpful to those who are interested in buying something like this. One piece of advise I would proffer, from someone who has worked in TV. Never apologise for your reviews. Your audience came to learn about motion simulators and every bit of info you gave was important. Those who didn't appreciate the details have already gone so you are only ever communicating to those who are passionate about the subject matter. Thanks again for a great review :-)
Hello. How the SIM going after all this time, have you had any issues with it? Is it still going? If it had problems did the manufacturer help out quickly. I only ask as I am thinking of getting one but its $900 to freight it here (Australia)! So im interested in know if its reliable. Hopefully you will reply. Have a nice day.
Amazing...very glad something like this exists. They will be having a new customer soon. All that I want in life is to learn how to fly but I just don't have the time or money for a pilot's license & aircraft, but I def. have the time and money for something like this to satiate my appetite in the mean time :D
I'm not sure why you got 100 thumbs down. Video was a little long but you have a lot of excellent info. I recently came across a DOF P3 review and it renewed my desire for a motion rig. I have one setting in my cart, I'm doing some last minute checking before pulling the trigger thanks for doing the video very helpful.
I am an owner of P3 since June 2018 and I totally agree with you. The P3 is awesome and a spoiler especially in VR. I have the same issue with the the TL wheels, however, they’re still holding on. I had a failed controller board right from the start, but they immediately replaced it. I had a failing gear box of one of the motors. They immediately sent me a replacement which unfortunately was the wrong model so they sent me another one which is due to arrive in few days. Their online support is awesome especially Igor whom I don’t see anymore, I don’t know if he’s still working with them or not. Regarding the issue of the front pivot, I had a similar experience like yours when the top section was ejected from the base LOL. Sure it was a horrible experience exactly like a real accident. I emailed them and it turned out that I forgot to fix the screw that fixes the top part to the base. I’m sure you’ll find that screw lying around somewhere not knowing what it was intended for. This screw goes through a hole in the base opposite to the pivot joint and screws to the pivot to secure it in place. Later I found that it was mentioned in their instructions PDF. As you have mentioned, this platform is a game changer, and I would like to point out that your first very few videos were the ones that convinced me into buying the this platform and I’m sure it had convinced others to do the same. Will I buy it again even though it had and will have some issues, definitely.
hi, in the video he mentions that the motors are not so fast. What does that mean? Is it like a lot slower than actuators or it's almost not even noticable? Also I hope it's nothing to do with the delay. Do you feel delay on what you see on the screen and the movement of the motion platform? Do you feel a bit of a delay or it feels immediate? This answer can help me also purchasing this thing. My finger is on the 'order' button already, but i need this answer now :P thanks!
@@isti1986 flying very small delay, but racing no delay. Motors are slower than actuators. Not that much, I have never owned actuators so I can't comment how much faster. Simply watch my videos, it's more than fast and I don't notice any of these issues
To me, it looks kinda bouncy. Seems like when the motion stop in any direction, there's like this spring back effect that makes it looks imprecise. Never tried it though, so don't really know how it feels for real! Maybe not the case, just my impressions looking at many videos about it.
I noticed that too. It seems jerky and had some slacks. Some movements are somewhat not true. I am postponing my purchase until the software and motor controllers are fine tuned and corrected.
@@jameshuli1 I agree with ESR, cars ARE often bouncy, they are on springs, which causes all kinds of flex and bounce. When I watch this system function, I am seeing parts where it moves and stops without any kind of bounce, so I would say that bouncing is supposed to be there to simulate the car. Watch some of the footage again closely, and you'll see at points it does do a violent movement, then STOPS dead instantly.
You do something like buy a full-motion sim rig for your household, you have to expect to get a little spoiled. Of course games with no motion are just gonna disappoint from then on. You should expect that when you say to yourself "I want a rig that moves me when I drive" lol Honestly, I like this review, it looks at both sides of owning a rig like this, and the pros and cons are very honest and make sense. I'm hard pressed to think that the cons weigh anything close to the pros, however. I've checked the game list, every game I own and would expect to use a motion rig with is supported currently. If I play a different driving/racing game I can accept that there's no motion. For instance, I have NASCAR Heat 4, which I consider a simcade, which isn't supported. However, if I wanted a realistic NASCAR experience with full motion, I can play NASCAR Racing 2003 season, which does support it (and I've owned since 2003). Basically, if I'm gonna drop this kind of money on something, it's gonna be because I want to maximize my immersion, and personally I can only see me doing so with titles that advertise themselves as "simulators". In the future I'm sure more titles will be supported, and this sim platform is just waaaaayyyy too good not to put on the Christmas list lol
@@danyalreyaz7503 Than it would've been a goto choice for a lot of people. I've just done the next cheaper option, a SFX 100. Also a good bang for buck. But shitload of upfront work.
A major Con I see, for me at least, is the fact I would have to buy two complete setups. I mean imagine the fun that could be had if you and your family or guests were able to race with or against each other. It goes back to the days of Dual player games on the older gaming systems that were so much fun as a child when you had your buddies over and gamed all day/night together...
Mjr Burn I saw one online that had room for 1 or 2 passengers that can sit next to you and slightly behind but also get to experience the motion; thought that was cool but likely outside everyone’s budget.
Hey I have enjoy your videos very informative, i was wondering or if you would do a video on pc set up in terms of monitors, pc, software, ect besides description how to connect the 3 monitor to the pc, install and so on. I'm gonna get a dof reality p3 with a fanatec set up, but I wanna find out more about the pc and visual partof things, anyways thanks and keep it up!
I appreciate all the info here. After a couple of years thinking about moving from a non-motion setup to a motion sim, I pulled the trigger on the P3 a few weeks ago (should arrive in a couple days). I've been scouring your vids the last few weeks while I wait. I'm really interested in your build out of a better wheel platform and peripheral setup for the rig. You mentioned using aluminum (and of course I can see the work you've done) to upgrade the more cheaply done stock wheel platform. I don't plan to put as many accessories on mine as you've done with yours, but I'd like to add a keyboard and have some additional flexibility. Any chance you will be shooting a video to walk through the customization of that section of your rig at the "frame" level? Thanks again for all the information. It has been helpful.
I really like your 8020 modifications! would you be willing to do a video walking through those modifications and detail a parts list and where you sourced them (tnutz?)?
Sir, how did you modify the table for the direct drive wheel, I have a direct drive, and I don't think the wheel mount will hold up this after some time. Also I was told that the plastic will errode, so I will need to get replacements that are steal. I'm 250lbs ( former wrestler) 5'11. You think it'll have issues with my weight. Can we replace the motors if we need to replace them? or do we need to purchase them exclusively from them directly?
Is it your impression that there are imprecise movements, bounsiness and rattling and the servomotors or rather the gearboxes have some serious backlash/play/slack?
The USB being picky about the port you connect your peripherals is actually a Windows limitation. Linux or Mac OS have no such issues. Unfortunately, pretty much all games are available only for Windows so you have to deal with peculiarities of Windows as a result.
Received mine a month ago, there is now updates with the rear traction wheel assembly , is much stronger with huge roller wheels. The soft ware is now Sim world Studio . I also fitted a option extra of front adjustable shock absorbers which smooth out the gear slack and take away the jerkiness. Takes a lot of fiddling to work the software out between games but is very effective, games seem bland without it on. Go on and buy one ! There was a £250 import tax i did not see listed.
Thanks for the video, I was wondering what happened to your Virpil Sticks? Was hoping to see them in this montage. Can you do a video on them if you have the time.
I would really love to hear some reviews on drifting in these simulators. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but as far as i can tell there's not really anyone filling that niche
Great vide , just started thinking about motion lately. Looks like you have some transducers hooked up. A buttkicker and something else? How does that work in conjunction with the motion? I have a static rig , but Sim Hub with three transducers (one under pedals for front suspension, one under my rig platform for engine effects, and one on back of seat legs for rear suspension) Would it be possible (or necessary) for three transducers? Or is one for engine enough ?
Question: The NLR Motion Platform has software with a mathematical algoritm for compensating for your head being moved by the rig to what you see in the VR googles. Without it you would get motion sickness as I understand. Does the DOF Reality software also have that, or is it immature in this respect?
How wide is the front base? The pictures on their website the rear looks wider. The max space I have for the front base is 28”, or 711 mm. Rear isn’t a problem for me.
Great video! Very instructive! Several years on simracing and now really decide to upgrade to the next level. Not yet decided between p3 or p6. Where can i find the full video of the p6 that appears quickly in 2.14 ?? Thanks again! just discover my futur rig 👍

Also question, would you say it's worth just doing the 6? Thinking of doing the 3 and upgrading later on.

About to be a proud owner of the dof reality. Just not sure on what one to get.
Hey man, did you end up getting one? How is it?
JjUST PULLED THE TRIGGER ON THE H3! I got the fans, shakers, motas mounts, and dampers
Can that wheel stand support a direct drive? It looks really thin and narrow.
They make an extra rigid support for those its an option tho
@Everything Sim Racing would buying the extra wheel support option reduce the creaking sound you mentioned in the cons section?
Hey I have enjoy your videos very informative, i was wondering or if you would do a video on pc set up in terms of monitors, pc, software, ect besides description how to connect the 3 monitor to the pc, install and so on. I'm gonna get a dof reality p3 with a fanatec set up, but I wanna find out more about the pc and visual partof things, anyways thanks and keep it up!

Great review!!
Man I want your H pattern shifter!! ♡♡♡ ;D
R-VR Closet Yes, what is that?
Can you give me a link to where you bought your extrusions? You got an awesome rig.
I appreciate all the info here. After a couple of years thinking about moving from a non-motion setup to a motion sim, I pulled the trigger on the P3 a few weeks ago (should arrive in a couple days). I've been scouring your vids the last few weeks while I wait. I'm really interested in your build out of a better wheel platform and peripheral setup for the rig. You mentioned using aluminum (and of course I can see the work you've done) to upgrade the more cheaply done stock wheel platform. I don't plan to put as many accessories on mine as you've done with yours, but I'd like to add a keyboard and have some additional flexibility. Any chance you will be shooting a video to walk through the customization of that section of your rig at the "frame" level? Thanks again for all the information. It has been helpful.
How you like your purchase? How's the hardware any failure yet?
What collective stick are you using? I'm having trouble finding one for my flight sim.
Nice sick setup, can't wait mine to get start.
What a thorough review, thanks for sharing!
Thx for the good video. Will support my decision for a P3 ;-)
I really like your 8020 modifications!
would you be willing to do a video walking through those modifications and detail a parts list and where you sourced them (tnutz?)?
Sir, how did you modify the table for the direct drive wheel, I have a direct drive, and I don't think the wheel mount will hold up this after some time. Also I was told that the plastic will errode, so I will need to get replacements that are steal. I'm 250lbs ( former wrestler) 5'11. You think it'll have issues with my weight. Can we replace the motors if we need to replace them? or do we need to purchase them exclusively from them directly?
Thanks for the great video I'm looking just for this. Thanks for the link .
Is it your impression that there are imprecise movements, bounsiness and rattling and the servomotors or rather the gearboxes have some serious backlash/play/slack?
The USB being picky about the port you connect your peripherals is actually a Windows limitation. Linux or Mac OS have no such issues. Unfortunately, pretty much all games are available only for Windows so you have to deal with peculiarities of Windows as a result.
Hey man great video! How is this still holding up after all these years? Wondering about the build quality!
14:30 where do you purchase all those rails that you can rig and customize together on his setup?
how has it lasted? I read a lot of comments about motors not lasting and customer support not taking care of their customers? Have you had any issues?
Received mine a month ago, there is now updates with the rear traction wheel assembly , is much stronger with huge roller wheels.
The soft ware is now Sim world Studio .
I also fitted a option extra of front adjustable shock absorbers which smooth out the gear slack and take away the jerkiness.
Takes a lot of fiddling to work the software out between games but is very effective, games seem bland without it on.
Go on and buy one !
There was a £250 import tax i did not see listed.
Does the wheel mount still squeek?
@@Fastm3driver no it is fine. Just turn off then off then on again
Thanks for the video, I was wondering what happened to your Virpil Sticks? Was hoping to see them in this montage.
Can you do a video on them if you have the time.
Working on them as we speak...
@@everythingsimracing4798 so around 3000 buys the P3 and shipping....plus I will need a seat ...correct?
My plan was to build one myself but for only 1200euro this is a better option 🙌
Really enjoyed this video. I am having trouble with my P3 leaning to one side and I can’t figure out why. Do you have any advise.
This is awesome! Where did you get the Collective for the helicopter from?
I would really love to hear some reviews on drifting in these simulators. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but as far as i can tell there's not really anyone filling that niche
So how has it held up over the years?
Great vide , just started thinking about motion lately. Looks like you have some transducers hooked up. A buttkicker and something else? How does that work in conjunction with the motion? I have a static rig , but Sim Hub with three transducers (one under pedals for front suspension, one under my rig platform for engine effects, and one on back of seat legs for rear suspension) Would it be possible (or necessary) for three transducers? Or is one for engine enough ?
Nice vid love your set up, time to get some solar free energy
I love ur intro! 😁
Question: The NLR Motion Platform has software with a mathematical algoritm for compensating for your head being moved by the rig to what you see in the VR googles. Without it you would get motion sickness as I understand. Does the DOF Reality software also have that, or is it immature in this respect?
The headset is tracked in its own space, what other calculation is needed?
@@tomar5e115 When the seat moves you,your head moves relative to the cockpit. It has to be canceled by the motion cancelation software/algorithm.
It does not do that, but if I get bad head tracking I just use a Vive tracker mounted to the top of my seat
That link was given to me by DOF reality
VR Motion cancellation:
www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/vr-motion-cancellation-time-to-test.10241/
No need for that, just mount the tracking sensors on the rig
Wow! This thing is $3k! Is there anything comparable but more affordable on the market now? Looking to get into the hobby and would like motion.
What about motion compensation in VR. What system did you use?
Yaw in flying traction loss very important don’t skip it
now after owned it for a long time, did u wish that u went for the 6 pivot one?
How wide is the front base? The pictures on their website the rear looks wider. The max space I have for the front base is 28”, or 711 mm. Rear isn’t a problem for me.
hey brother
big hello from montreal
do you think I can use the p3 platform with playseat challenge ?
by the way you have a sick setting
Great video! Very instructive! Several years on simracing and now really decide to upgrade to the next level. Not yet decided between p3 or p6.
Where can i find the full video of the p6 that appears quickly in 2.14 ??
Thanks again! just discover my futur rig 👍
Hi mate, can you share the Simtools axis assignments and Tuning Center for Elite Dangerous?
I was just playing ED with my new pc on vr. Man i want the p6. Im getting it soon.
Amazing review! Thanks!
