So much effort and time goes into making these videos for everyone's enjoyment and information. Much thanks.

This is nuts. It's got to be one of the best personal sim rigs ever made! Although I've got to imagine this would be much more immersive/fun in VR. Thanks for sharing this project with the community!

Fantastic job...is always a pleasure to watch your videos, there are people who know what they are doing. Thank you from Azores, Portugal

Excellent content Barry..!!! 👌💯🤔 I've been so looking forward to this video..!!! 👍

Hi Barry just wanted to say a big thanks for all you do , long time racer , can never afford this stuff but great to have it presented and shown buy a great ambassador for sim racing ty Barry x

Excellent job, what a rig too. I have been looking at PT actuators, you are a good salesman for this .

I'd love a video of you Barry going through your personal rig and why you choose everything you do, what bases/pedals/rims you race with the most etc. I'm guessing Bodnar and Wave Italy for the first 2.

Holy balls Barry 😂 that setup looks fun

I bet you gave some info that even PT don't know about their product, bravo sir

The most complex sim racing track I have ever seen. Respect, want more!!!

Top notch Sir,,, 👌👌💪 Scintillating guide on The PT actuator system. Much obliged for the effort & insight.

Barry, I love your attention to detail; you’re my favourite sim racing gear reviewer by far. Your voice is ridiculous, you should do voiceover work if you don’t already. So smooth. 😁

Now you need a matching black 8020 step ladder

I get such a kick watching him race the Lucas Oil Trucks. It looks like so much fun. But I am on my GT Omega Apex thats pretty much all I can afford and fit in my room. Some day...

Wow until I watched alll the videos didn't even appreciate it as much as I do now!! Absolutely 👌

I wish I had even a tenth of Barry's discretionary spending budget. No disrespect intended, as I love this channel.

INCREDIBLE System. We are proud to provide and support this system to our wonderful customers. PT and Sector X have been working together to help awesome Sim Racers and Pilots experience the best for less.

If i come into a windfall i want a setup just like this, plus Barry to get it all setup properly. Amazing stuff.

You have the radio voice to conquer them all

Thanks, Barry. As a 5DOF owner, I've been patiently awaiting this review since you started posting pics of your build a few weeks ago. Overall, it looks like a decent upgrade. Hopefully iRacing can get on the ball with sending front TL data to the system. I'll wait a few months before upgrading ad maybe do it in the fall.

What an incredible setup

TIP: Use TAB key to move from one settings to another and keyboard left/right keys to easily make small adjustment to SRS values...

So awesome!!! I need this motion platform.

Awesome thanks Barry!

When using the test sliders, you might be able to activate the next one with the tab key so you don't have the mouse problem, at least if it follows conventions. (Shift-tab should activate the previous control, too.) Apologies if it doesn't work; I've never used the software, but I work on UIs for a living. Thanks for all the great videos!

Dope! I need to do this! Gotta research how to get the additional 2 dofs right

Amazing as always Barry. How does this compare to the Next Level base & traction system in your opinion?

pretty amazing

How does the PT Actuator Traction Loss and Sway compare to the NLR Traction Plus platform(you previously evaluated) ?

Would you please be able to do a video on iracing FOV. Your fov settings look spot on

Yesss!!! Finally!!!!

What is that keyboard tray you are using? That looks great!

Hey Berry one note on the center bearing and getting to the locking pins @ 41:00 i know it's more ideal the way you have it setup for minimizing leverage forces on the center pin, but the center pin is so tall it makes me think that maybe the bearing is supposed to be on top of the plate not underneath it, then you'd have easy access to both locking pins. Also another note that has been bugging me for months now watching your motion rig reviews, is that you keep bringing up and tuning the motion rigs as if they're meant to replicate the suspension or motion of the body of the cars you drive (ie. soft/lots of suspension = lots of movement, and also tight/no suspension = no movement) But aren't motion rigs (like belt tensioners) meant to replicate the acceleration and physical experience your body undergoes in a real car? your belts don't actually get tighter when you brake, but belt tensioners are used to reproduce what your body feels when you hit the brakes in a real car. therefore the huge amount of roll you have when going around a corner isn't a product of a car's spring stiffness and anti-sway bar (body roll), but the lateral acceleration you're generating from the corner. So an F1 car would roll way more than a slow miata around the same bend because of the difference in the amount of G's the rig is trying to trick your body into experiencing. I think not having your screens mounted to the rig takes away a lot from the experience of a motion rig, because what you're looking at doesn't move with you and your brain can easily tell it's not actually feeling acceleration, it's just moving/tilting around a bit. Helps to think of the whole system with using VR (or with your eyes closed) where you can lose your reference to real life and start just thinking about what your body is feeling while driving. Yes you feel body roll and dive under braking in real life but motion rigs main focus is reproducing the acceleration felt and it does that by using gravity rather than actual acceleration. but i would love to hear your thoughts about this since i cry a little every time it comes up hahaha Thanks for the hard work, we all appreciate it.

Awesome!! It's here already!! 👍

Hi Barry. In this video, are you using the sim labs P1-X and does it have the seatbelt system or are you using JCL Sim Racing with the seatbelt system.

i gues the Plate is Pertinax ! BTW nice video !! ;)

Woow a nice rig dudes Did you get a clim frame too lol; seems high to me,have fun

Barry is this what you're using personally now? If not I'd be interested to see what you're 'daily driving'... Thanks for all of your work!

Where do you set the Park location for the actuators? In the Thanos controller? I'm guessing you'd want the verticals to park at 0% and the sway actuators at 50%.

hello! The video was very helpful. By the way, what are the tools that appear from the 18th minute? Desperately curious and needed. Information please.

What gloves are those you are always wearing? I feel like they would be a lot cooler than the ones I have at the moment xD

Do your motion house fans squeak? Mine started to squeak pretty good after a couple months.

barry, which motion unit that you have tested has the most traction lost or yaw travel? id assume dof p3 maybe or this unit? mainly focus on drifting and sliding. thanks a ton

Is the fan controlled to increase speed as you speed up and decrease speed when slow down and stop when you are stopped?

Does it come with a ladder ? :)

What are the velocity, acceleration and movement distance specs?

woooof thats a bit of kitttt

Hi Barry, will you keep this system, how is the long-term durability? I want to buy a motion system, With the same price, I could get a PT Actuator with TL and Surge, or a D-box 1.5'. The only concern is the long-term durability. Will the actuators start to fail and reduce the performance?

Hi, we cant get double traction loss with Next Level Plataform or PT-Actuators Double traction loss platform. What is the best and more realistic one?? Tnx a lot for any help!!

at the driving part rofl fucking hell the hair floating looks insane

That looks amazing, but must be like trying to get into the top bunk on a bunk bed.

WwwwoooooWWWwwww!!! From Brazil!

Hey Barry, is there a way to mount the monitor setup to the motion rig?

Did those rear vertical pieces of extrusion hit the box containing the controllers? 47:55 was mighty close. May also be a worth while upgrade to change those Swivel Castors out for some heavy duty Ball Castors (Ball Transfer Units)

@48:00 you can see the cockpit touching the controler housing behind!

Nice rig.. i liked the jcl d box better tho with the surge element 👌

will an f-gt elite fit on this platform?

Do you have suggestions for more affordable motion sim rigs or are cheaper ones going to be a waste of money? And are cheaper ones even going to work for heavier/larger guys?

Why didn't you just add shims to the actuator?

Do you know how I can purchase one? I have been trying and company has not returned emails. Thank you

I'm gonna be watching this while I work on simply removing my seat and installing a buttkicker... imagining I have that rig... 😭

Shouldn't the monitors be mounted to the rig for better immersion?

Are these better than the D-Box?

Cant you tab or arrow down to the next slider?

0:30 - That hair flow tho...

All he needs is a good 3/ 65inch 4K tv and he’s set.

How many are going to be able to afford to buy this?

Super informative video on an impressive topic and system! But what is not really clear to me yet, how and exactly through what should you really feel and understand the Understeer. Kinematically and especially on the software side, I don't really see this implemented yet. In real life, the breaking away of the cornering forces on the front axle is responsible for understeering. I see this on the slipangel via telemetry data. To what extent the kinematics seen here, including Sway, should detect this in a comprehensible manner, a big one for me? For me, the understeer motion effect listed here is a fake and not really useful! For my understanding, the Understeer would have to be calculated from the existing telemetry data as well as the traction loss and implemented as an independent motion value.

Bro, that hair in the wind... LMFAO

how much does your whole setup cost?

wow

I have no money for this. But I want this so badly :( :(

Dear Community, does anyone know what games Barry is using to test the rig? 1st game starts at 1:13:26 2nd game starts at 1:15:44 Thx

Sorry, why don't you talk about using it with flight simulator and virtual reality? I am eager to see the profile and the performance. Thanks.

47:00 i thought it would contact the controller box.

That material is mostlikely a machined thick garolite plate.

Pitch is not surge. True surge is the base moving forward. Look at Qubic yaw surge plate, 2DOF.

it doesnt pitch like that but you are emulating the g force as much as possible so its not just about angle...if you were in VR this would be better experienced

Must be Ken from D-Box that is the one dislike on this video, lol

LOL these rigs keep getting uglier. This one is brought to you by H. G Wells.

You are going to far with this!! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
