What is Sim Racing With a D-Box Motion Setup Like? (Raw Thoughts)

One of the coolest things I got to experiment with this Winter was the First Generation D-Box Motion Platform, giving me four actuators to mount onto my Heusinveld Sim Rig GT. However, when I pieced everything together, it sunk in that the Sim Racing Cockpit I was using was actually worth more than the price of my two real life cars combined!

So, that brings the question... Is a High End Sim Racing motion setup truly worth the investment? Let's take a look!

Some quick notes about this video that I didn't fit or forgot to include in the video itself:

I tested this for approximately two months, where I put it through its paces.

I generally ran with less FFB, but for the video, I had forces turned up slightly to show the effects. I also tested out different effects and styles that were recommended to me by other motion users.
I didn't get to use it as long as I would have liked to fine tune EVERYTHING, but I had enough time to really learn what the system is capable of.

A few people told me that sometimes people just enjoy running the motion as "4 bass shakers" with minimal movement. At that point, I'm just thinking I'd rather have 4 Buttkickers. Cheaper, more instantaneous, and works well..

I'm still open to testing out other motion setups and maybe reviewing in the future, but personally, from the 4 motion setups I've tested, I feel like they suffer the same flaws.

Thought i would just come back here after 2 years to say. Dear William, its been 2 years gone but i have never forgotten you. Its still so sad watching this video and seeing you and hearing your voice. The fact that you are just not around is very sad, especially here on You Tube. You will always be a big part of the sim community here on You Tube. R.I.P William Marsh.

I just cannot believe what i have just read. I just got my daily dose of Race department today and bam, was hit with this devastating news about William. I am just absolutely gobsmacked and shocked to read he has died. What can you say here except i am truly sorry to hear about this news. I never met or knew this guy but commented and watched all his videos, he came across as a very nice and likable fella and certainly inspired me to do this hobby. To all of us here on YT and the wider circle, rest in piece William Marsh and much condolences to your family and friends. Total respect to you WM😢😢

Godspeed Will. I uploaded some of his AC cars I painted for him on Racedepartment for those interested. Imo, it's a nice way to keep him in our memories.
