    My no 1 tip would be try out each force on its own to get a feel for it before you blend them :)

    its built up and ready.
    but one from my old p3 motors have a technical defect, so i cant play with my 6dof ATM.
    have to order a new motor :( , but its a little tricky because i have the transtecno 12v motor and dofreality doesnt have them anymore (only 24v)

    its really sad to see the rig infront of me and i cant play

    i hope so..
    Contacted Transtecno today but the sales area manager is not sure if he can order (because im private not commercial)
    Maybe i must order trough Igor from Dofreality.
    But i will see.

    Have fun with your 6dof!

    Thanks!

    But the best is when we both can apprecciate and enjoy what we got.

    I am looking forward that you solve the problem you are having so we can share our experience :)

    @marco balletta

    Here this will help you out

    1) Open SimTools Axis Assignments
    2) select from the drop down the game plugin you want to tune to 6DOF (eg "pCARS2")
    3) reset settings to the default 6 DOF profile by clicking "Load Default"
    4) in all effects (Pitch, Roll, Extra1/Yaw, surge, sway,Heave) in % column put "-"
    5) start with one effect lets say Roll and set it to 80% for all axis
    6) save and start the game to check the direction. if reversed invert Dir for it in the check-boxes for all axis
    7) set Roll % to "-" and set 80% for the one of next DOF (Pitch,Extra1/Yaw, surge, sway,Heave)
    8) repeat #4-6 for all 6 DOF (Pitch, Roll, Extra1/Yaw, surge, sway,Heave)
    9) tune the % values to your preference and realism. We suggest to start from lower values and go up as some games maybe super sensitive.

    Credits goes to Dofreality..

    Watch out for that. I got my 325euro custom bill from tnt after 3 months of delivery. I guess Tnt is a bit behind on the admin.
    So i ordered in september and got the tnt custom bill in december, that was notr a nice suprise ;-) But if you are lucky you get no customs bill.

    Just a heads up.

    Anyone having periodic oscillation issues with their H3 or P3? Ocasionially, for not apparent reason my platform with start to oscillate side to side uncontrollably. The oscillations get progressively worse to the point I have to shut the sim down and reset everything.

    so i have news!
    my "old" transtecno motors (12v) must be replaced.
    These motors are from the first generation P3 from dofreality and cant lift enough weight in my situation.


    When you have 24V motors you are surely good to go , so keep that in mind.
    Now i must order three new 24V transtecno motors then the party can start!

    my first tests with the P6 was awesome , when you have it right configurated (game profile , tuning center).

    The good about that one is when i order three new motors i have a second complete P3 3dof what i can sell , beacuse for the P3 the 12V motors was enough.

    So i will post full review when i get my new motors.

    What game were you able to test with the 6 dof ?

    I ma looking forward to talk with you about game profile and tuning center setting for the 6 dof. I am not sure if mine are set up right and comparing your settings with mine would help me a lot because you already have experience with a 3 dof rig and hence you know what movements / forces are right and what are wrong and their right or wrong intensity.

    Could you clarify this? I'm selecting controllers for my rig that's on its way and want to make a good choice. What are you referring to with each of these?

    Current choice is Fanatec DD1 wheel and Heusinkveld pedals.
