2-Axis HERO (H2) Racing Motion Simulator Platform

Description: 

If you’re seeking the perfect racing simulator experience, the DOF Reality HERO 2 Motion Racing Simulator Platform is your ultimate choice. This full-motion platform with SFU provides two axes of movement and boasts top-tier design, engineering, quality, and performance, for lifelike simulation. The HERO 2 model is designed to move not only the seat but also all your controls (steering wheel, joystick, pedals, throttle, etc.) mounted on the motion platform. You can feel acceleration, braking, and G-forces during the turns -- just like you would in a real car.

The HERO 2 model features true two degrees of freedom (Pitch and Roll), and includes the platform frame, all necessary cables, and motion software. The software, Sim Racing Studio, is highly customizable and provides precise in-game feedback based on the car’s telemetry information, simulating road bumps, texture, vibrations, gear changes, collisions, and more. If you want to bring your ride to life, this is the platform for you.

Included is the platform frame, all necessary cables, and motion software. Platform extras, such as base covers, transportation wheels, emergency stop buttons, and floor mats are available as additional add-ons.

Please note that games and platform accessories (ie: seat, steering wheel, pedals, etc) are not included. Photos showing the platform with a seat, steering wheel, etc., are for visual reference only.

What is included in the DOF Reality platform?

DOF Reality platforms come with the motion simulator frame, mounts for seat or sliding rails, integrated power drive motors, a control unit with USB compatibility (110-240v), SimRacingStudio license, quick assembly tools, and a 1-year full warranty.

It does not come with any accessories (seat, steering wheel, pedals, etc). This product is the frame only.

Will it work with PlayStation and Xbox?

Yes, all motion platforms from DOF Reality are compatible with both PlayStation and Xbox gaming systems.

Do I need a PC for the motion software to work?

While you can use a proxy Windows PC to host the SimRacingStudio (SRS) software, this is not necessary. Instead, you can purchase the MagicBox add-on which hosts the SRS software, gets motion information directly from the console games, and lets you control SRS with your phone or tablet. Just plug the DOF Reality motion platform into the MagicBox and enjoy the console sims. 

What seat should I use with your platform?

Seat choice is a matter of personal preference and almost any bottom-mount car or gaming seat will work with your DOF Reality platform. For general recommendations, we suggest a Bucket Racing Seat (to prevent falling during G-forces) and a lighter seat (so the motion performance will be enhanced). 

For specific recommendations, we suggest the Sparco R100 Seat, Sparco R333 Seat, or Sparco Sprint Seat. Please note that a real, certified racing seats can be quite expensive -- and these are not necessary for racing. A non-certified seat will still work the same way and will generally be cheaper than certified ones. 

The best option for your DOF Platform will be to use a standard bottom mount car seat with sliders/rails (as in a real car). This will provide you with the opportunity for quick adjustments and easy mounting. If you choose a bucket seat, please note that most will require 'side to bottom mounted bracket adapters' and 'sliders.'

Does it come assembled?

The platform requires assembly upon delivery, but it includes quick assembly tools for easy setup.

How does motion cancellation/compensation work with the platforms?

The SimRacingStudio software handles motion cancellation and compensation to ensure smooth and accurate simulation.

What will I get if I order?

You will receive the motion simulator platform frame with all necessary cables and software. Please note that you will need to purchase the seat, steering wheel, pedals, and any controllers or VR Headseats separately.
