    Thats right I said V3. I just placed an order at overclockers UK for next level racing motion platform v2 and a day later recieved an email that stated:



    " Hi Ricardo,


    Thank you for your order.

    I am the ------------- -------- for peripherals for Overclockers, I just wanted to drop you a quick email regarding your order with bad news and good news.

    The bad news is the V2 Motion Platform has gone end of life and there are no global stocks available. The good news is the V3 platform is coming in mid-October! I will upgrade you to the V3 platform for no extra cost and ship as soon as stock arrives.

    I hope this is agreeable for you, if so please let me know and I'll leave the order on file. If not I will contact sales for you to cancel the order.

    Thanks for shopping with Overclockers."

    Its a bitter sweet i guess. I was really looking forward to upgrade my Obutto to include motion, but i guess I have to be patient. I just hope they dont have delays. I got on the Next Level Racing facebook page and dropped a line about the upcoming release of the V3 motion platform, and the moderator stated:

    "Stay tuned more news to come. Who was your local vendor so we can make sure they get stock once available".

    I just thought this was relevant news for sim racers looking for motion rigs.

    Did you end up buying one ace aka Ricardo ? I now have v3 and it is significantly quieter - using sound insulation in the casing - even tho' v2 was relatively quiet. The motion also feels improved by way of increased precision & smoothness and response, more refined and the definition of smaller bumps and movements is much better. Variable speed fans also added. Couple of good reviews on youtube if anyone cares to google.

    Are they really worth $4k + rig though? I built a seat mover with help from this forum for $800 everything included. I'm not really a DIYer and had to get a mate to help so I understand why people would want to just plug and play, but that seems ridiculous.

    Well, I'm thinking of buying the Next Level Racing Motion Platform V3 when they are available in December. It's a very nice package with dedicated software. Recently switched from a Playseat Challenge (my first sim experience, Dec 2015) to the GTultimate V2. But I'm also wondering if SimTools can handle it because I would also love to use it in combination with PS4pro via the plugin.
    At first I was looking at the motion sim of Pro-Simu but after reading some bad comments here about them linking to SimTools without really having permission I don't have a lot of confidence in that company anymore. And I also want to be able to put the rig on wheels and move it to another room if I want to, and 99cm wide is just too much.
