I know there's a couple of owners on RAFair,
I'm about to order an H2 or H3, I'm not sure which one yet. I've been searching for information and reviews from dcs pilots in particular, hoping to be able to make a judgement if the the H3 is worth it for DCS. There's not too much out there, lots of info with car sims, info is sadly lacking for DCS.
I have read and watched on YouTube that the yaw motion isn't worth it for planes, it's mainly a car thing. I fly the Huey a lot and figured it would work well with her but I've not been able to find an H3 owner specifically saying it's "superb for helicopters" or "save the money" or even mentioning helicopters at all.
If anyone has an H3 please let me know what you think.
Any Dof reality owners. Help please,

Re: Any Dof reality owners. Help please,
I have now experienced the Huey shuffle!
DOF reality H3 is all set up and working.
First thought is that it brings the Huey alive. Bringing in the collective requires good anti torque control on approaches. The feedback comes through on the yaw access very well if you get behind the curve.
Heavy landings come through with quite a jolt, smooth landings, with no yaw and just a slight contact jolt are now very rewarding.
Pick up and taxi is very cool, the wobble in the hover all comes through while you get yourself stabilised.
I definitely recommend it, and it doesn't take up as much room as I thought it would.
It's an expensive toy, but as are golf clubs, fishing rods and going to the pub, which I don't do, this was how I justified it to my wife, I also said, and at least I'm at home with you, her reply "no you're not, you're with them in some ridiculous virtual world" and I suppose I am.

Yes, will do this week, I've nearly finished setting up.
It's an H3 Dof reality. Neal also has one, he implanted the idea. Honestly I can say it's superb.

Sounds similar to the Next Level Raceing motion platform, which is also pricey at £2200 keep trying to soften the wife up to let me get 1 , lol
