    The p3 setting is way less complicated than the p6.

    Look at the screencap
    The h6/p6 axes setting is much more complicated than the h3/p3 setting.

    See attached screen captures

    No its not normal, Try to patch the game again, and/or check the hardwaresettings config file in your documents/mygames/dirt3 folder.
    I had similair problem with dirt 3 in the past. Also, remember that the game motion goes away after one run, you need to run a special program to avoid that.

    Use this little program

    I wish I would be capable to tune the p6. This is the help I am looking for from who would update from p3 to p6.

    If you look at the attached screencaps, how do those settings look compared to a p3 ?

    So they not send it out with any presets? How do they test it properly without?

    For the 6p/6h , there are presettings for 2 games .

    But the question is how do you judge that the movements of the h6/p6 being good or bad from a video that does not show the gameplay with the movements of the p6/h6 that are a consequence of that gameplay?

    It was just an observation. Does it feel great then to play? Or am I correct?

    I had the same issue, emailed DOF and got thicker replacements without any discussion.

    I must say, customer service is great !

    Here are some pics

    Hello all, Im new to the forum. After in-depth research with 3 dof motion platforms available on the market. I have decided to go with the P2 as hope to upgrade to the P3 later. The platform will arrive in 2 weeks from Ukraine to UK.
    I saw a thread in AC today mentioning there are problem with AC interacting with Dof reality platform, but that was an old thread from 3 months ago, has the problem been solve?

    More likely a DOFreality owner had not properly configured a motion profile, do you have a link to what thread your are referring to?
