6DOF stewart platform F1 racing simulator

This is a quick video of the very first test of our 6DOF motion platform. Obviously there's a lot of tweaking and tuning to do, but we're pretty happy with the overall functionality. In this video we are only utilizing pitch and roll with very crude mappings from longitudinal and lateral acceleration, respectively.

Curious if it makes you actually feel like your accelerating or If your about to take off to another planet

It's like driving a car with worn out shocks.

People now: I have a full motion sim with a Fanatec DD2 😎
Pople some years ago: I have a full motion sim with a G25 😎

I see a lot of complaints about the range of motion here. But you are comparing the motion to a real car where your body is subjected to inertia, momentum + you are actually moving in physical space. But how can you replicate at least 20% of that while sitting still....you dial it up. Exaggerate the movements till you fool your brain. This is a DIY setup so they went overboard a bit but still makes sense.

Seems like it's lifting the seat a bit much, it's probably more immersive with VR though. ^^ How is it set up? Are you developing it for massproduction or is it a single project?

[davidgarza]

do you sell those??? I want one I was wondering how you made it and programed it to work with racing simulators

[SosaKinkos]

The design of motion simulators is to simulate forces not simulate motion

[viktherealone]

Has this motion thing but a shitty monitor

[thesteeners]

need to play in hood view, unless in vr. Will mess your shit up

[RojoFZ]

General rule of thumb if you feet are level with your eyes your shits fuc***

[MotionSimBuilders]

Awesome machine, just needs to be tuned right… never seen an F1 wheelie before 😅

[CamaroWarrior]

not good... moves to much, an F1 car doesnt move like that

[djbrent]

Way too much movement. Hard accelerstion throws u back in your seat but doesn't point you to the moon
