    Worked as an engineer on a top level race series motion rig which saw a variety of pro drivers come through for a couple of years and this was the exact same conclusion that was arrived at even before I got there. Almost all of the motions focused on the impulse movements, so not just suspenion inertia but kerb strikes and high speed weight shift. The only sort of "G Force Simulation" we had were seat belt tensioners for braking simulation. I chuckle every time now I see one of those gigantic gymnasium filling G force simulators because I know someone has put way too much money in to make the simulation experience worse (Unless it's for a flight simulator or something)

    I have a simrig and a masters degree in mechanics so... braking affects your complete body in one direction up to about 1 G at the same time 1 G is pulling you down. If you tilt the seat 45 degrees while sittning still you get the feeling of braking. The problem is the transition. This gives unwanted dynamic effects due to inertia. So the only thing you can simulate, to a degere, cleanly is bumps. So some rigs say 1-6 degree of freedom. That is true but they can not simulate dynamic transitions correctly. So with less motion less wrong dynamic transition effects.

    • @GamerMuscleVideos
      @GamerMuscleVideos  Před 3 lety +7

      As someone who's recently been getting into Racing sims and is looking to get a simrig in the future, where could I look around for a good rig that takes in account the tips mentioned in this video? :O
      I mostly do VR drifting, not sure if that's important or not, but I'm super keen on getting one of these for myself at some point! I found one called Yawvr that I thought was good, but after watching this I'm starting to reconsider it haha

    • @simmetrik3551
      @simmetrik3551 Před rokem +1

      With a 6DOF rig you can achieve great results regarding transition and sustained G force by combining the DOFs through filters. Basically the horizontal movement gives the initial spike feeling but since they have a limited stroke the motion transitions to a sustained G force by tilting the rig through lower frequency lowpass filters. For example the "FlyPT mover" motion software allows for fine-tuning these transitions. In case of a rectangular 6DOF rig (not stewart platform) you are using the vertical actuators' stroke mostly for tilting the rig, while still having enough headroom left for simulating the bump on the heave DOF and also allow for extra tilt due to the geometry of the race track for places like eau rouge, or for rallying, etc...that's why my motion rig has 180mm of vertical and 360mm of horizontal stroke. The actual heave movement is very much dialed down but the extra stroke comes in handy when simulating the transition between initial and sustained forces. Motion platform size alone is not telling the whole story, the devil is in the details how you drive it...

    I am partially agree on the statement. Most motion platform were design by geek or engineer who had never drove race car before, therefore there are lots of imagination involved and thus it is very difficult to do a right job. Motion platform are also limited to amount of moment that can be done to simulate the g force and angular momentum of each axis. Thus, motion platform is best to give user just a kick and let user's brain to take over the rest. Human brain is very interest device, as long there are an associated feed back force to each action, our brain will eventually translate that into the right feeling.

    Well placed bass shakers and a diy "turntable" the rig can sit/rotate on is honestly all that you need to not only give the transient response on a budget but also prevent motion sickness many associate with sim racing (using VR especially). It's a real good question why they don't utilize these systems more for drivers licenses now that manual gearboxes are a thing of the past in modern cars. A bonus is that you can't burn a clutch or brakes (or crash).

    Glad to see a video about this far too common pitfall. Chassis movements are OK, tilting is usually too laggy to simulate g-forces. In the end after trying many systems I went for a GS-Cobra. It pushes your torso and you have to counter it to keep steady, so basically it is a FFB seat., sensations are very familiar.

    Karts do up to 2.5 G in corners and it's easier to simulate any GT-car with under 1.8 G or close to 1G in the usual supercars. I've tried a dozen motion systems and IMO my GS-5 with G-Belt and Simvibe is the best and the Raceroom 3Motion. Maybe I've just had bad settings with others, but felt always more convincing when the motion was not moving the hole rig (other than TL), but just me or me with the seat. Maybe the pt-actuators or SFX100 with 750 Watts each are a bit quicker than the D-box with 400 something. Last ones felt disconnected and more annoying to me probably due to latency combined with too much movement. Unfortunately no company is copying the 3Motion concept which is undoubtedly the best seat-mover on the market by far since it does what all seat movers do plus hieve with far lower weight.

    That‘s old wisdom in the industry, yet not widely known in the community. Most people are falling for the „exhibition style monster movements“ you mention in the beginning. Tests with real life professional race drivers using VR had been done a few years ago. They had to tell when the motion felt most „real“ for them when doing simracing. Interestingly they all said that very subtle or no motion at all felt the best and they were able to get the best results with that.
    Why then is the industry shelling out super expensive extreme motion systems? Because they can sell them! 🤷🏻‍♂️ The higher the price, the bigger the margin! People with deep pockets often go for the show factor and are happy to report to their friends and business partner exactly what insane amount they have spent on that rig.
    For the everyday enthusiast a 1.5“ 5DOF with good software and high fidelity feedback will do the trick and more. There you peak out around 15k$, which is no conservative amount to be sure, but far far away from the craziness that you can find in the „high motion“ market.

    • @PeterSosinski
      @PeterSosinski Před 3 lety +4

      This is well put. Most garage band style motion simulators advertise things people can comprehend, which is stroke, speed and DOF's.
      But I would submit that increasing stroke length, DOF's and even speed has significant compromises. You are in a simulator and NOT a real car, so what you want is 'accurate recreation' and not "exact replication". Besides exact replication not being attainable at most homes, (concrete screws to hold your chassis past 5G) this would also be a massive health/safety concern. Most people, "think" they want real motion, but what they really want is for the physics engine to accurately communicate data and expect the motion supplier to accurately translate that for all cars, tracks and sim softwares (this is the hardest part). You have start at the fundamental level of signal processing to achieve such a result, but as this video accurately describes, most, what I call garage band motion systems, just take raw G-force data and move the actuators as quickly as possible to achieve position targets, which never works as the change of position targets, or JERK moments, happen quicker than most current controllers, hardware and even software can handle. [speaking from 10 years of track experience and 11 years of sim experience] (could still be wrong here) :-)

You can mount a NLR V3 (low) into a t-slot like a GT-1 Evo, add a 4 or 5-point harness with the vertical belts attached to a simple DIY tensioner, then add the Simrig SR1 actuators for the 4 corners. Add a couple of tactile transducers and after 10-20 hours of consistent use on the right setup, your brain will map all of the cues you have in the rig: DD FFB, seat moving (subtle & quick with the seat belt tensioning), 4-corner motion, and the tactile rumbles/vibrations. You don't need a lot of movement, just sharp, precise movements properly mapped.

  • @fdynamics
    @fdynamics Před 3 lety +11

    Since we built the system shown during your opening sequence, here are some additional thoughts! First: It's entirely possible to build big-motion platforms with lots of latency, and those systems can 'poison the well' for those of us who do the job correctly. But it *is* possible to do the job right, with the right hardware, sufficient power, and the right motion cueing. To see what we mean by that, check out a video of a direct, 1:1 comparison of the same accelerometer showing g-loading in a real race car vs. our 401cr platform:
    czcams.com/video/hzAIVzAMNg0/video.html
    Yes, our systems have a lot of motion. Yes, systems with a lot of motion can suck if underpowered or even if they have great hardware set up incorrectly (or set up to impress at a show rather than for the best driving feedback). But done right, they can provide true acceleration feedback you can use to drive the car better, rather than just moving your seat relative to your steering wheel and pedals (!!!?!?).

      I quite liked the force dynamic rig but personally I much prefer rigs that move less / just the simplicity and practicality that comes from more minimal solutions.
      Obvously any person looking to buy a rig for training or commercial use should try a bunch out before they buy and make there own mind up.

      👍🏻 all motion systems have extensive tuning menu’s and properly tuned for each individual sim they add so much immersion and consistency especially in a long race season. I love mine and couldn’t go back to sim racing without it! I can catch and control slides better. I can feel the bumps, the change of camber, braking on the limit better etc etc. Nothing compares except real life it’s self.

    I just got an SFX-100 and I'm finding myself much more comfortable & fast at 70% travel than 100% even after motion compensation.
    Even on top of less travel: Less effect & less smoothing feels better, cranking everything up is fun for a couple of laps but becomes a chore.
    I use the motion for suspension/traction loss & haptics for everything else.

      Properly tuned and there’s nothing that comes closer to giving you the feeling of the forces you feel in a real life car. Iv owned a motion base for a number of years now and combined with VR I wouldn’t go back to sim racing without it. Motion, a good FFB wheel and VR= immersion, consistency, depth perception and faster lap times. That’s my experience anyway.

      @@tradesman1000 good point. on a good motion system you don't want to get off after continuous laps, and when after 20+ laps it should feel like its almost not there at all. You should ONLY notice a motion system, after you TURN IT OFF, after you've ran it and forgot about it. That's usually a good indicator. Many non-motion, non-car enthusiasts/companies out there just making expensive torture toys don't have genuine signal reproduction.

    In my experience (13 years racing cars, 12 years or so in sims) this is spot-on GM. I've driven maybe a dozen motion systems and less is almost always better, unless you are simulating off-road or rally conditions (which should still be limited to vehicle dynamics, there is just more of it).

    As the owner of the FD 301 you are driving in this video (and 10 more like it), i have a couple of comments. Yes, there is no doubt that sitting absolutely still, and concentrating on driving only will probably make you faster, but real drivers don't have that luxury. And, you are absolutely right about setup. This particular machine can be setup to give you exactly what you want in any given situation, from chassis only movement, to full G-force, which is a blast, especially in VR. Again, it's all about use case, personal preference, and setup. If you want the ultimate customizable machine, to give you a blast, wether it's driving, flying, or playing GTA, I can't recommend it enough. czcams.com/video/rEKOwFr8smg/video.html&t

    • @GamerMuscleVideos
      @GamerMuscleVideos  Před 3 lety +2

      After using lots of large motion rigs , I don't find tilting back to be an adequate representation of acceleration as it always feels more like being rotated rather than being pushed into a seat from getting on the gas. For me personally the only thing analogous to acceleration/ braking are systems that apply pressure such as G seats and tension belts.
      Obviously an end user can set up a rig how they want to and a larger motion rig will accommodate a wider number of use cases. That said I found the "basic" corner actuators to provide me with the most compelling and least immersion braking motion.
      I'm sure there are wide ranging opinions on motion rigs and what people want and need for specific use cases.
