It depends on your budget, your application (sim racing, flight sim, or professional use) and how much immersion you want. 2DOF gives you pitch and roll, a solid entry point. 3DOF adds traction loss (in racing) or finer attitude movement (in flight) and is the most popular tier. 4DOF adds heave for vertical movement. 6DOF gives you full six-axis motion. Seat movers are a more affordable entry tier that move the seat rather than the entire rig. If you're not sure, email us and we'll help you choose based on your setup, budget and how you'll use it.

Some manufacturers (DOF Reality, for example) offer racing and flight configurations of the same platform. The flight version uses an additional reducer gearbox on each motor, which provides extra smoothness on the slow, gradual motions present in flight simulation. Flight versions can still do racing without any drawbacks, so if you're primarily a flight simmer it's the better choice. For pure
sim racing, the standard racing version is fine.

DOF Reality, eMotion Simulators and Qubic System platforms are designed to work with most aluminium profile and steel cockpit rigs, with multiple mounting patterns to accommodate different wheelbase, pedal and yoke placements. If you have a specific rig and want to confirm compatibility before ordering, email us with the details.

Most motion platforms require a PC running compatible simulation software. For sim racing, that's titles like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2 and others with motion output support. For flight simulation, that's MSFS, X-Plane or DCS. Some platforms also support console connection via additional hardware. Check the individual product page for compatibility specifics.

Yes, generally. The flight-spec versions of platforms like DOF Reality work for both. Some configurations and accessories are application-specific (a flight setup uses a yoke and pedals, a racing setup uses a wheel and pedals), but the platform itself can serve both uses with the right mounting.
