My new sim - Prosimu T1000 3DOF

After have sold my 2DOF rig...i've decided to buy a Prosimu T1000 3DOF.

I was not convinced of a lot of thing but after tried it I can't say nothing else than..awesome!

Pro:
-SCN6 actuators are another world than DC motors; they are very fast and precisely. With this kind of actuator you can really feel little details that you lost with DC motor.
-Entire frame is really clean, polish and simple. It's not very big comparized to a 2DOF.
-Connections are very simple, 2 cables for actuator and all system is powered by a simple notebook power supply.

Cons:
-SCN6 actuators are pretty noisy.
-when you stay on it...you don't want to get off

Anyway, thanks Patrick because it's very a good simulator.

Nice Sim (unfortunately not self-built).

But please put away the carpet lying beneath, he destroys the overall impression. (looks like a flying carpet from "One thousend and one nights")

Yup, sorry noorbeast

Anyway, I will make a video soon... I'm really impressed by this kind of actuators. They are very accurate...another world than classic DC motor.

Hey guys,
I just purchased this sim as well. I'll be honest, it is a BOAT LOAD of fun. I love the challenge of getting it set up. It took me about a day to get it put together but I was taking breaks along the way. It is temporarily set up at my in laws but I will post photos when it is set up with cable management at my house. I was curious on a couple things and hope that there are multiple users here to address.

1. Did yours come with the carpet? Everything I see in the instructions says that it would but Patrick didn't include it and wants me to purchase something else for him to ship it for free. A bit frustrating.

2. I am working on the Project Cars 2 title and in the menus the sim will randomly move around on occasion. Does anyone know a work around other than getting out and coming back in?

3. Do you have problems with the front end lifting out of the red frame work? My cousin sat in it weighing 210 lbs and the thing tipped over backwards.

4. I have started adjusting the settings in simtools and am trying to get an accurate traction loss setting. Are you guys using more Sway or Yaw? the back end is randomly kicking out on the simulator in tight slow radius corners where I am not losing traction.

5. Does anyone have ANY ideas on how to not to drive people living below you crazy with the vibration noise??? hahahaha

I appreciate the help and hope this is in the right section! #ImNewHere

1) You need to buy a carpet if you want it.
2) I don't use PC2
3)I suspect your setting are wrong... you should follow patrick setting, calibrate values with tuning center, and after that don't go over 65/70% in main profile game.
4) with this kind of simulator you can't emulate Yaw.
5) this kind of actuator is very noisy. What you can do Is to build a rolling platform to avoid contact with floor.

nice to see another T1000. i'm buying this also as my next gift to me.. but i'm a little bit surprised.. you buy a simulator for 3000$ and have only a 100$ wheel? that's a bad match.
Anyway.. i like this very clean build with the cable management.
How long was the delivery time?

Because I have no money now My next gift will be T300rs Alcantara.

1 week.

Updates:

Awesome stuff bud! I only have a 2dof rig hopefully soon I'll have a 3dof . Just got his new shifter plate in I'll be posting a video soon u can check it out on my channel RTA Motorsports on YouTube. His new shifter plate is crazy strong as my old one eventually bent! Lol

Anyways good stuff keep us updated!

what do you think about my setting?
patrick from prosimu suggest to set main level around 60/70%, and all axis allocation at 60% (heave at 20%).
regarding tuning center, with assetto corsa, my values are:
pitch: 1.5 max/min
roll: 2 max/min
heave: 0.5 max/min
sway: 1 max/min
surge: 0.8max/1.2min
traction loss:1.8 max/min

Any tips? @noorbeast @Zed

I was going to say maybe more surge while viewing the first video but that looks good in the second. How does it feel to you?

I don’t have a good feel for critiquing other peoples' rigs. Since I run in VR I don’t even see how much my own rig moves. I just go by how it feels.

Hi, I have the 2 DOF rig and the movements look good but only you can judge from feel. I really think you should get vr as a motion seat with vr is a perfect match. Looks like we will have news about a high resolution vive tomorrow so could be time to jump in.

Thanks

mmm... i dont know if its normal that with certain car you can feel little bit some effects and with others no. for example, in f1 car, i can feel a lot of heave but less sway.

anyway' its strange that prosimu suggests axis allocation over 100% (every axis is around 60%).
Maybe I feel im missing some sway, not in speed but in terms of range.

ive tried playstation vr...and my stomach goes away

I have a scn5 actuators and Im thinking that your movement its slowly. Anyway try to Put the television near to you, because the fov is wrong and all the inmersion loost.

You are on right noorbeast, but I don't know why Patrick suggests to use 60% for every force. In fact he suggests this setting:
Pitch:60%
Roll:60%
Sway:60%
Surge:60%
Heave:20%

Main Level: around 60%.

Maybe because Axis are limited to 85% to prevent damage to actuators?

I've tried standard setting like:
Pitch: 20%
Roll:15%
Sway:30%
Surge:20%
Heave:15%

But movement are too shortly.

If you have some suggestion to optimize this kind of setting, I really appreciated it. I'm here to make testing to improve simulation on this kind of 3DOF.

Now I don't have pc under my hands, but setting are:
Pitch:60% 1.5 max/min
Roll:60% 2 max/min
Sway:60% 1 max/min
Surge:60% 0,8max/1.2min
Heave:20% 0.5max/min

Main Level: 65%.
Actuators are limited to 85% for damage protection (Owner of Prosimu says this thing)

If I increase main level to higher values, I will have faster movement but not with long range.

@noorbeast Yesterday I've tried another setup(which is under 100% of total allocation):
Pitch:15% 1.5 max/min
Roll:15% 2 max/min
Sway:30% 1 max/min
Surge:25% 0,8max/1.2min
Heave:15% 0.5max/min

Now range of movement are really little, and if I increase main level (for example from 65% to 75%) what change isn't the range of movement, but the "speed" of the little movement.
What i'm trying to obtain is to have a bigger movement, maybe the problem is related to axis limiting.

Any suggestion is appreciated.
