Does he do giveaways? 😂

How many motion systems available on the market? A definitive guide with a SRG price-per-performance awards would be good to make us know which is what.

@@azaralamouri5140 There's enough motion platforms that one would need to have a hefty income in order to afford all the goodies! :-)

this.

He needs airspeed fans mounted to his rig, with slow motion shots of his flow blowing around.

@@djvycious Oh believe me, he has a fan kit. And when he uses it, it is like an angel touches down to Earth. His voluptuous hair flies and undulates as he heels and toe, wearing the legendary checkered flags Vans. When that happens, I imagine doves flying in circles in the SRG, pyrotechnics firing in sequence, and I am watching this, and 'm in the front row, and 'm hammered drunk...

His chuckle warms my heart man.

I'm just buy sr1 ...its coming in 3 days!!!

Thank you.

How is the reliability till now? any problems? do they send parts if it's out of waranty?

@@TinoushGTR until now no problems. The software is still updating, the servo drives working well. I have now approximately 200 hours running time on the system. The contact to the supplier over mail is awesome and I don't think that you get trouble with spare parts.

@@TheNasenboer Thanks for the update. Ill have to weight my aluminium rig. Because my seat is about 10-20 kilo and im 110kg. lives 40-50 kilo's left maxing 170kg.

@@TinoushGTR maybe you also buy an new seat like a sparco racing seat. They not heavy. Also you can go in touch with the guys from SIMRIG and ask about the maximum weight.. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

@@TheNasenboer sure I will. I haven't finished building my 8040 rig yet. My seat isn't used yet 😂 I'll upgrade to motion after couple of years. Not a seat mover like motion platform v3 but a dof system.

how much equipment do you have mounted on the GT1 Evo ? I have the same rig, and might gonna buy this motion rig

@@tokkelcs Ordering SR2 today . How is your system holding up after a year ?

@@minis7782 hi .. nice .. and yes still going strong , no problems what so ever .. and i am still happy with it.

My thoughts exactly on simulating G-forces vs actual suspension kinematics

Actually we use pitch and roll to simulate road conditions such as uphill-downhill and turns. For suspension movements we use surge (acceleration-brakes) and sway for turning.

I think so too, and only seems exagerated because the screens are static. If screens moved with rig perhaps a better immersion of G would be achieved.

Or VR

Yes VR does solve this, you are actually 'there' in VR. Motion Rig and VR is the dream setup.

Yes it does as you are in another environment so the brain is tricked big time.

Exactly! Would be great to see some chaper DIY alternatives for people who have smaller budgets

I'm am also very much interested in such a review of the SFX-100 kit.

I know it’s been two years and I’m sure you won’t see this reply but I am thinking of doing the same and would love to know if you ended up choosing to go with motion before upgrading to a dd wheel base and if so whether you ended up being happy with your decision or not!

@@alecmillea4539 what a nice coincidence to return here now and see this in the reply time although I quit sim racing years ago and I don't use this KZfaq channel. My opinion is: Having the feedback only from the wheel is like living in a 1 dimensional world. People fail to see this because they don't know what 3 dimensions are and they are ready to fight against them. But: I am sorry I can't give more advice because I don't know a lot and haven't tried a lot by myself, (although I traveled to sim racing expo in Germany once and although some of my friends own fancy motion rigs and one of them was so crazy to dedicate 50k$ for a full-motion rig once but he never ended up purchasing it. All I can say, is that motion rigs are a big world and many kinds. And you aren't likely to find your dream rig that is perfect in all aspects, like: realistic, compact, silent, runs forever, cheap...etc and this is massively due to the idea not being adapted by consumers and the sales being so niche and thus the makers not investing to push the technology forward. All I know is that my friends who own simple kinds of feedback rigs like tactile vibrations or DIY & D-box suspension rigs are super satisfied with them and that they don't mind missing the g-force aspect. One of my 6 DOF friends shocked me once when he said that "good software is more important than the actuators acceleration, strength and range", probably a useful tip from someone who had many rigs before. My personal experience testing motion systems? it takes me at least 5 minutes or more to trick my brain into believing that this is reality but after that I get so immersed. On the other hand, after trying many DD wheels, I can tell you their smoothnessss and immediacy are so lovely, and their reliability is great. Sorry for not having sufficient info. Happy cars & racing!

@@azaralamouri5140 man thank you so much for taking the time to reply so throughly! I sincerely appreciate the info. It’s useful to know that the software is likely more important than the hardware for motion rigs from someone experienced in the field! I’ll probably end up going with a dd wheel and 4 tactile transducers before going with motion. From the research I’ve done it sounds like that will make the most impact on immersion for the cost. Thanks again for taking the time to answer a comment I never believed would be seen by anyone hahahaha!

So this definitely won't work on p1x I'm guessing

They actually just did. They called it the SR2! Let's hope Barry will do a review of it too!

@JonBerg that have a v2 now 225kg

I agree. It would be nice if he did a “when paired with VR” segment in all the motion reviews.

This is a great idea. I hope he sees this.

I have this and I drive with VR (Rift S). I agree with that motion and VR goes hand in hand. This system is really really great and I actually dont know what more to add to sell the idea that you are sittning in a real race car. The immersion is so good.

Omg yes, a VR segment

Probably because of the glass he wear

Just strap on a VR headset and live the dream :D

Would you say it's quiet enough for use in a concrete apartment?

Yes for sure, the rubber pads do lots of damping and the actuator noise level is very low

So it's been 1 yr for you? How often do you use it?

@@senhsationalv6278 Don't want to drive without it, the combination dd1, valve index and motion is a must....its like the real thing.

@Airwayz ArA did this rig does motion feedback when you shift gears like hitting you a bit Back? Cause I really cant see it :"(

This is the medium sized seat.

I don't have any information as far as performance drop off under inceasing weight loads. Something you would need to ask Simrig. Personally, I prefer the whole chassis moving vs just the seat.

Sim Racing Garage thank you very much for your input on this. The only advantage I can see on the v3 is really the small footprint and ease to install. Now I’m kinda of stuck with it, didn’t knew that SR1 system before seeing it on your channel. Please keep going on doing this amazing videos. Best of luck. Regards.

I think when the whole cockpit is moving it is more realistic. More like when driving in a real car.

It could be some seat movers are more reactive... So if you don't have very good actuators to buy with a full motion cockpit it is better to buy a seat mover

He refused to answer because it looks like he doesn't want to favor one from the other. In other words, he's working for both.

Interested in the answer as well

An actuators performance will fall off as the load it is moving increased in weight. Some are better than others. I do not have any info on the performance parameters of the SR1 actuators under load. Need to contact the guys a Simrig for that. Yes weight limits are aways something to consider depending on your own use requirements. Considering the price point of this kit, I would not expect it to have the capacities of more expensive actuator systems.

@@simracinggarage3026 It's actually rated a max load of 175 kg (including driver and rig) based on what they say on their website. Do you have any opinion or comparison in terms of noise levels?

The Simetik K2 is very good. I have an OSW direct drive wheel and the rig is solid. No flex whatsoever. It's MUCH better than the omega cockpit. I had a GT Omega before (not the pro)and it was flimsy and couldn't support my OSW.

Asim Chohan +1 Good question! I own a H2, it can get chunkie sometimes.. The SR1 seems to be much smoother, but less reactive..

I wanted to ask exactly the same thing

The most obvious difference would be heave instead of traction loss (yaw). Then there is the difference that comes with using actuators, and there's different software, and so on… Quite a number of differences, I'd bet.

@@RoarMcRipHelmet yes, but that difference is for the better on the simrig or on the dof reality?

@@thisempty As often is the case in these situations: It depends. If you want a system as quiet as possible, the actuators of the Simrig SR1 are the quietest. But if you have other noisy equipment (buttkickers, heavy FFB on wheel…) then that point is moot. Yaw makes it easier to detect traction loss, but if you're using VR then it may require a well-tuned motion compensation software so you don't get dizzy. I haven't tried a system with heave, so I don't know how useful it is. Many 2DOF+ systems use pitch in specific ways to compensate for heave, and maybe that's good enough, I don't know. Software: The Simrig software looks to me like it is proprietary, while DOF Reality uses SimTools which has many popular user-generated profiles. Just a guess: The Simrig software might be more plug-and-play with popular games, but if you want to try motion on more obscure games then DOF Reality is likely to be better. There is no definite answer to which is better, it depends on your requirements.

was until the price went to £3800 no cockpit UK

I support that. For every product he delivered, he should get a portion of the fee.

dof reality h6 but they're a bit flimsy

The system did not seem to have any difficulty with the added weight. I don't have any information as far as performance drop off under inceasing weight loads. Something you would need to ask Simrig.

Cheers Barry.

How did he get one then? They even included the USA style power plug.

At the end he mentions it will be available later this year so that should take care of it. :) As for how he got it already... Idk, asked nice?

@@v1tam1ns He is a reviewer so sent for free and probably already had power cables. Also they put the price up quite a bit.

Isaac Beekman Yes please. I actually need to know Barry’s opinion.

Yes, as soon as I can source them.

He reminds me of this guy: www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myagecalculator.com%2Fimages%2Fmichael-douglas.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.myagecalculator.com%2Fhow-old-is-michael-douglas&tbnid=dgaFBrQhYFsmeM&vet=12ahUKEwiy0d7ziM3oAhVCJX0KHe58DZ8QMyg_egUIARC8AQ..i&docid=z0b4awBij-25oM&w=480&h=640&q=michael%20douglas&ved=2ahUKEwiy0d7ziM3oAhVCJX0KHe58DZ8QMyg_egUIARC8AQ

@Douglas Ingram what would he bother for he owns one of D'Box best systems and also has surge on it and traction lose

Any clicks or metalic sounds you hear are from the paddle shifters or the pedal set when I release the throttle or brake.
