There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The idea with motion sims, as I understand it, is to fool the brain into believing you are moving. You don't need a 1:1 ratio of movement.
A sense of movement combined with a VR headset, I think will go a long way in simulating being in a RW airplane.
The H3 has a Yaw axis. This will tell you if the turn is coordinated. It will also allow you to Slip the airplane. The tilt axis is only 20 degrees. So, if you are wearing a seat belt, you shouldn't experience the hanging in the straps’ phenomenon.
Outstanding! maybe we can help each other. One thing on the monitor, all the vids I have watched say to go VR. I plan on keeping my 64" 4K TV on the wall and use it as a monitor until I put the headset on. All my flying is in VR.
I am actually considering the 6 DOF. Just thinking it will be the last huge flight sim expenditure, except for future PC builds, that I will make, so might as well. As for going strictly VR, I am not sure I want to do that, because I get eye strain when I have my Quest 3 on for too long. I think I'll still use a monitor fairly often. NC
The dof6 might be good for you, because of your naval operations. I understand that the dof6 simulates carrier landings and launches very well.
Sorry for the delay in posting this. I was out of town and had issues getting on the internet. Congratulations on your purchase. Please, let me know how it goes. I am very interested in your experience.
Thanks Chief, I will look into videos on mods. I have been toying around with some ideas on welding aluminum tubing into mounts for some of my controllers. I did see where someone suggested that to be sure and balance out any added atachments, so any added mounts will be spread to both sides.
Yes, I need to look more.I to the balancing thing. What I did yesterday was determining the electricity requirements for.the H6 vs what my breakers are for my office, etc. They advise NOT to plug in both black boxes into one receptacle, to prevent tripping breakers. My office power is.on one 15amp circuit, but my office shares a.wall with my dining room which is on a 20 amp breaker. So I plan on installing a new outlet in that shared wall and tie into a.receptacle on the other side.
A few years ago, we upgraded our electric box. I installed a separate 15 am breaker and line dedicated to the simulator. I see you joined the Discord group.
