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.
Nothing matches those filters.

Buying guide
Is 3DOF right for you?
Pitch and roll plus one more axis. The most popular step for serious sim racers and flyers.
What you feel
Pitch and roll, plus either traction loss as the rear steps out or heave for kerbs, bumps and turbulence. It depends on the platform.
Best for
Serious sim racers and flyers who want more than tilt.
Check the third axis
Read whether a platform adds traction loss (yaw) or heave. They feel very different.
Check your rig and space
Some platforms are complete units. Others, like SIMRIG and the ProSimu P-series, bolt to an existing aluminium profile rig. Leave room for it to move.
