Hello! I've been sim racing for just about 2 years on a t300rs with no motion. I am not great by any means but I still want to make an upgrade on the setup. This really made me want to work towards building my own vs buying, but due to your last comment reply I'm scared that going your route wont satisfy my craving, due to you saying you modeled motion similar to muscle cars. Where as I am leaning towards a hypercar/f1 feel. (for enjoyment not training) Do you have any recommendations of changes you could make to this idea to make it more on a "downforce induced feel" ? parts, or software? Thanks!
@tallymudasia5163 Greetings. No need to change anything as far as hardware would go for what you are wanting in a motion sim like my design. It simply means you would have access to old school (historic) car dynamics if you ever want to try that. My design will work with both types of cars with some simple tweaks to sim tools settings (software). You could even lock out the traction loss all together in the software if you wanted to. But, F1 cars experience TL as well under certain circumstances, so you'd just dial it down when using computer controlled cars.
Hi doc Would it be possible to build a motion rig in the way yaw have built their yaw2-v3 motion rig they are using timing belt system Here is the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9NZH4yFme_g.htmlsi=0y8sGZMxq1jBxnoq Im following your 4dof guide and im about to purchase the tools and materials from your list Your channel is a god send and stopped me buying the dof reality h3 Cant wait to start building Take care Kind regards Matt
Hi Matt. Thumbs up 👍on the decision to build a motion sim. Yes, those yaw ball turrent platforms are pretty cool. Quite compact and look to be easy to move around. I did contemplate a similar design early on, but not with belt drives. What stopped me forging this path was I was worried you would miss out on the cool inertia created by the traditional traction loss pivot design. Having actual mass is important for this (along with a correctly funtioning TL system plus software tweaks) As a classic muscle car owner, I appreciate this and modelled my setup around that experience. This and the actual sim chassis twist felt in my design, really gets those sensations pretty damn close. The down side of my design is it does have a reasonable footprint, so space is required to house it. Get building and I'm here to help.
