3DOF Platforms

3DOF motion platforms add traction loss as a felt axis. In sim racing, that means physically feeling oversteer and understeer through the platform, the car breaking away tells your body before it tells your eyes. In flight simulation, the third axis delivers finer attitude movement, making the platform respond to the subtle changes in roll and pitch that flight sim actually needs. For these reasons, 3DOF is the most popular choice for serious sim racers and flight simmers buying their first proper motion platform.
