Motion Platform Advice

what did the complete assembly cost you?

are the motions soft or jerky?

what software drives the platform?

thanks.

I did not keep track of expenses. You can find the current price of the Simrig actuators on their website but I paid $3,600 Canadian for the SR1 actuators. The rest of the expenses came from wood, aluminum extrusions and peripherals.


Motion smoothness depends on the telemetry from the flight simulator. It can be very smooth in calm weather, or very jerky in heavy turbulence or if you crash.

Simrig has their own software but mostly for car simulation, but it supports Flyptmover software. Setting up the software is probably the hardest part but there are a few setups available for the basics. Tuning the software is not for the faint of heart, but I don’t worry about it. I am satisfied with basic movements. I am not looking for software that emulates multimillion dollars commercial simulators.

I could not see a way to do that with the DOFreality unit.

You can, but you have to get the 6-DOF model which is $5,500 when it's on sale. That's a bit steep yet for most home sim rigs.

I’m wondering how the qubic 210 is. I’d like to attach that to my existing simlabs rig. Anyone here have experience with qubic and Msfs?

Aren't they having some pretty big financial issues at the moment?  The updates say they've had to raise additional funds just to send out orders to kickstarter backers, and they still haven't got the product.

Does look like a great product, but I'd be feeling a little wary personally.

Many are given rising interest rates. I see everyday new lay off notices going out. Going to be a real doozy this economic drop.
