About
The DOF Reality HERO 3 Motion Flight Simulator Platform is a 3-degree-of-freedom motion simulator designed for flight simulation, helicopter simulation, and racing applications. Featuring full-platform motion and an additional gearbox on each motor, the HERO 3 is engineered to provide smoother movement for the slower motion characteristics commonly found in flight simulators.
The platform moves the seat, monitor, yoke, pedals, and joystick together as a complete system. Through telemetry-based motion feedback, it simulates runway bumps, turbulence, vibrations, collisions, climbs, descents, coordinated turns, and uncoordinated turns.
The HERO 3 provides pitch, roll, and yaw/rear traction movement through its full-motion platform design. It integrates with SimRacingStudio software and is supplied as a plug-and-play motion platform with motors, control electronics, motion software, and mounting hardware included.
