Are you keeping the rig?

​@@ProjectImmersion What do you think? ;)

@VRFlightSimGuy I would like to correct some information regarding motion compensation. It seems like there has been a lot of misconceptions about what it is and how to solve it. This is how it works: (As far as I have learned). The reason why you need motion compensation is because you want your motion to be relative to your motion rig. If your motion rig moves, you and your headset moves with it, and there is no way for the headset and base stations to know that you are in a motion rig. If you were in a real airplane, you would not move, because you would be strapped in, and G-Forces would also push you into your seat a lot of the time. Any motion you do inside the airplane will be relative to the airplane. If the airplane banks, you bank with it. What motion compensation does, is that it uses an additional tracker to cancel out the relative motion. A tracker is mounted on the motion rig, the base station can see the tracker and the motion from that tracker is then subtracted in the MC software so that the only way you move around, is your own head movement relative to the rig. Just as it would be if you were in a real airplane, moving your head around. Turning the base station off would seem like it solved it, because there is nothing tracking the headset anymore, and you can't move around, but it's not really a solution but a workaround. There are two things that are needed to make this work. A tracker and MC software. The easiest way is to mount down one of your controllers. All you need to to is to turn it on, select it in the motion compensation software and enable. And BOOM you are motion compensated! Sim Racing studio also has this hybrid virtual tracker solution that makes uses of a sensor from Witmotion. This solution is a bit fiddlier to set up and requires you to calibrate before every session. It's also limited to how many axis it can track, so if you are upgrading to more degrees of motion it may not work. Using a controller or physical tracker will not have this problem, because it is essentially tracked in all 6 degrees of freedom from the base stations or headset.

Jonas, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to explain all of this, since I am a complete noob at the moment. I'll give this some thought and once I have more time, I will try what you have suggested here. Have a virtual beer on my my friend 🍻🍺

That's a dream... is there also a solution for the Reverb G2 without dockhouse station tracking? Thank you for all this great videos!

Thanks for the tips!

Cheers Paul 😊

I'm curious to know if that actually works?

Thanks mate. I fear you may be right

Cheers Mark. So when are you coming round for a go ;)

@@VRFlightSimGuy on my way 🤣😂

​@@SimHangerFS 😅

Working on it Brian, stay tuned and thanks for watching ☺️

@@VRFlightSimGuy Your videos couldn't come at a more perfect time, I have been looking at motion rigs and your notification came up on a video! Excited to hear more of your feedback on how it works in DCS as well

Thanks mate 😅 Fighter jets next!

Thanks so much! ☺️

The sim software does actually output the correct telemetry which is Heave, Sway and Surge along with pitch, roll and yaw. All of this then needs to be translated to a motion rig software interface which then tells the rig what to do. All of what you are saying can be recreated except + & - gravity >1g for obvious reasons. Motion rigs take a while to setup and it's a bit of a curve getting used to it all, he's only just trying it out after having it less than a week - i'm pretty sure it'll all be figured out in his future vids.

100% THANKYOU for explaining this!

Yes, my thoughts exactly. If you bank to the left at speed, (or if you turn left in a car for example), the forces of inertia would push you to the right). Steve, is that what you are feeling in your rig when you bank left? Or, does that need to be specifically tweeked in the software?

You HAVE to try one :)

That's why Im pretty much stuck with my Valve index as I haven't found a better option for motion compensation. I use the Index controller mounted to the rear of my headrest. I want a better fidelity headset however I'd need a headset that would work with the lighthouses.

You have to get one Sven!! Especially with your Sparky approved moves.

Thanks Pat, I feel extremely honoured to be inside the flight sim LOL. The movement is absolutely superb, I'd say this would actually help people with sickness in VR, since the motion corresponds to what your brain is telling you, it's often the lack of real movement that causes the issues.

@@VRFlightSimGuy Thanks so much for the reply and info! I'm going to have to give this some thought! Sure would be nice to have one. :)

Thanks Alex you're too kind! I'm not sure, maybe drop DOF Reality an email. Best of luck :)

Thanks for that, well spotted, I usually do this but I was too excited LOL

Worth a try!

It’s actually pretty close to the feeling you would get, as in a roll gravity kind of throws you from left to right, or the motion of the plane does. Only thing missing is the feeling of blood rushing to your head

Great suggestion thanks!

Woah congrats!

Thanks Dave. I'm not sure how they handle import duty tax for customers. But worst case, I'd suspect it will be £100-150 on top from them directly.

I don’t know much, but I have the same setup. Have you deleted the rolling cache in MSFS? It seems to have made a significant difference with mine.

@@stephenmckinnell7791 I’ll try that out!

@@stephenmckinnell7791 do u fly in VR?

@@marcs1024 Yes, only in VR with a Reverb G2v2.

I'm using reprojection which adds fake fps to provide a smooth experience. Otherwise, I'd be at around 60fps.

SFU upgrade as we said in the chat. Thanks for watching!

Enjoyed the video glad you got the better gearboxes

Hey Robert I'm so glad this has been useful :) You don't have to use VR, there is a mounting solution for a monitor I believe. Cheers!

@@VRFlightSimGuy Thank you.

It's extremely quiet, as I mentioned in my first impressions vid, I was using it until 3am and no one in the house could hear me :)

I'd love to. Maybe one day!

I'm afraid he would need a bigger room. If the rotation platfrom is used for yaw (unlimited 360 yaw at that) a large radius needs to be cleared. In the 2dof mode matching what Steve has now, it would take up more room than the H2. But the Yaw2 has far greater range of motion: roll 40°, pitch 70°. That backwards pitch can really kick you to feel acceleration and climb.

Hi, you can email me (link in my about section) or pm me on my Discord server :)

Would you recommend this? It felt right to me but I'm open to suggestions

@@VRFlightSimGuy I think the initial movement should be inverted to get the sense of inertia in a quick roll, but prolonged banking maybe shouldnt. Try and see what You think. I run with inverted on the roll axis and to me it feels «right». I use the Motion Platform V3 from Next Level Racing and Motion compensation is fantastic.

Hey Steve. I have the SRS Haptic seat and wind upgrade. On my to show list soon. Cheers!

@@VRFlightSimGuy awesome! Do add the buttkicker gamer pro aswell. The shaker pad is great but subtle vibrations but with the addition of a but kicker you'll get the rumble and more dynamic range.....the best part is the configuration options within the buttkicker software so you can assign certain telemetry data to activate only the buttkicker and other data to activate the shaker seat pad. I was so impressed with the buttkicker pro on my rig that I bought the bigger version the LFE and mounted it to the joists under my VR playspace. To feel explosions and what not under your feet while in vr and coupled with bhaptics gear is next level immersion. Looking forward to your video of dof/srs/motion comp configuration so I can compare my settings

Perhaps! Although I have no space for that unfortunately.

They are not as big as you think, I have a fair few vids on my channel if you haven't looked 😉

I'm sure I've already answered this question Brent on another video?

@@VRFlightSimGuy But you're to lazy to type it in here!

@@barnold62 Too lazy? You have asked this question already in another video and I have ANSWERED you. Otherwise watch the video, that's why you are here correct?
