Cheapest Motion Sim Rig... BUT is it any good.... Yaw VR 2

It would be so cool to be able to drive a real car in real life. Too bad that is impossible and no one will ever do it. At lease we can spend thousands of dollars to drive a virtual car.

He’s talking about 1500 $ but when you go to the site its 3000 $ from the start !!! 🤯🤯🤯😖

Its 3k now. 😢

I think that your video (especially the bit about the rollercoaster) proved one thing - this thing would be amazing for flight sims. the pitch travel would be great for take offs or dogfight. However, for racing sims this is probably a hit and miss as you won't benefiting from a massive pitch travel but you definitely would miss on heave movement (up and down to feel elevation change, kerbs or bumps on the laser scanned tracks). In this case it looks like a set of 4 actuators and the 80/20 profile is a much better option for sim racing and there are companies which offer actuators with around the price of Yaw

In reality the force you feel even on high banking is down and to the outside of the track. Centrifugal force people!

simulators are the next level no pun intended thing no more controllers

Wow...price DOUBLED since this vid

How would the 360 yaw work with the wires for the wheel etc? Wouldn't they just get wrapped around it..

Cheapest? 😅

im looking to get a motion racing sim but i only have a xbox one s and not rlly tech savvy so will this be a good choice and work??

Can you attach a rocking chair to it?

How is the seat cushion on long term sessions? Looking at buying this for flight sim and my current sim chair after about an hour or two of sitting my A** hurts so bad.

Bro where do people get the money for these things lol

I'd like to know where you got this for $1500. On their website the cheapest one is over $3000 and it doesn't include the seat or wheel stand. If it is the cheapest, it is definitely not cheap, and definitely not 1500 bucks!

Hum hum ..... ring for flight sim yes .

14 grand???

I have to say what a disappointment it has been to finally get my yaw 2 3DOF that I ordered over a year ago, only to find that it is incomplete and damaged. It was not damaged in transit. it was simply poor craftsmanship and lack of any quality control.
I ordered the unit with casters (wheels) however they shipped without them but charged me for the wheels which I had to pay import duty on. They now say the wheels were not safe so thay have been discontinued but they did not bother to let me know about this. Nor have they made any mention about compensation or refund.
The base plate on the bottom platform was severely damaged due to overtightening or something similar. They agree and have said they will ship another one, but they have not said when it will arrive or how I should go about fixing it when it arrives.
Next problem is that after assembly there are only 2 DOF working, pitch and roll. Yaw and the chair lights are not working at all. The response from YAW has been incredibly uncaring and unprofessional.
Email replies to my questions give only the most basic information regarding possible solutions. The answer to the yaw DOF not working was "after you disassemble try pushing the connectors in and see if that helps"
This company has taken a good product and are now killing it. Do not buy from YAW they are the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with. You will not get what you order and whatever you do get will be faulty.

how did you configure the chair using the software? It seems extremely buggy... My chair is in a corner like yours...I don't need it to yaw (I have the second platform for future use) I just need to calibrate and set limits...how do I do this using the software?

I picked up a Yaw VR 1 seat. It looked like a good solution for a simulation seat. I had it for a short period of time and parts of it started breaking. After about 3 years after multiple failures I was left with a product that does not work. Now if this was a low cost product I'd say c'est la vie - but it was not. I spent over 3500 (CAD) for the seat - which included an high import tax and shipping (which actually was the same cost as the seat. After spending that kind of money I would have thought the product to be more robust. It was not. I probably should have done more investigation and been more critical purchasing a product from a new company with no real reputation, which is very important for a product in a very specialized domain. I certainly would not recommend their products based on the experience I had had with the seat (and customer support) from this company.

that is pretty dumb that they made the kill switch a backer reward only.....very stupid....it should come standard with the unit and you shouldn't have to design your own....not having one is a safety issue it seems...

it's awesome but man early bird price vs now, price difference is nearly 100%. may i ask how much was the shipping cost?

is the foot plate stationary or can u move it closer?

My primary concern is cable management. You have any issues with cables snagging? The model that spins could be very problematic for wired headsets

bought the first one, it wasn't worth the hastle, i was so happy when i finally got rid of it

I advise you to use that device for 3 months and eventually sell it. Not suitable for VR use at all.

Is good but not the cheapest

A couple of things.
1. The wheel mount shown in this video is NOT the one the company is selling with the unit. Sadly, the one they're selling now is a central mount.
2. This is definitely NOT the cheapest motion sim rig. The DOF Reality H2 or H3 is.
I'd love to see a proper head to head comparison between the Yaw2 Pro with the rotation platform and the H3, but I haven't seen anyone do one yet.

So anyone else notice that during the banking in Nascar the chair should either remain upright or tilt the other way. Even with that bank, the G-Force of the turn would be more than enough to push you towards the outside of the turn instead of a sensation being pulling into the center of the circle which I saw being displayed there.

Man I got the H3 DOF was considering upgrading to the H6 but now this YAW 2 looks like a winner

At over 3k that's a LONG way from being the cheapest 3 dof rig. Still looks llike so much fun!!! It's sad to know that their quality control is non existent. Hopefully they get that worked out.

It's only 1500?

i like it

Do they have anything for a console? Like GT7 and pSVR2?

3000$🤡😂😂😂😂

If I had the room, I wouldn't think twice about ordering one. I am thinking twice on how to make room for one. lol But ya, that seat wouldn't work for me. I am not a big person either but I know I would still feel those bars.

3K tho 🤦‍♂️

Backed it when it was cheap, eagerly still waiting.

Unfortunately the company is always out of stock

I am guessing this thing is $5

I never thought about home furnishings with a seat belt would be something I very much want.

I've been researching the possibility of opening up a VR arcade that focuses solely on the racing and flying experiences using VR and FM Sim. I like this sim for sure because the price point is not outrageuos yet the quality seems pretty darn good. What game consoles is it compatible with?

This is a great sim for the price. However, it is shipped from overseas and the price for shipping is $745, something to consider before buying.

How are the calling their brand Yaw but the unit doesn’t Yaw( means turn left and right)

just got mine, man is it insane. few kinks installing my own seat on it, might have to drill a hole or two.

I want, I want!!!!!

It's called Yaw, but the base model only has pitch and roll... ? 😂

Damn they made a safety feature an early bird/backer goal.. horrible they should just come with a kill switch that looked like you could have broken a leg..

the price is not bad for such a crazy sim rig the only downside is if you're like me and lack the space in your room for it lol

Very helpful review. So their website has typos, and they sent missing bolts and parts to you. On top of that the software seems to have issues for a lot of people. I'd be concerned about buying something like this from such a team considering that accuracy and precision are important in mechanics and coding. And for some reason there's a lack of reviews for how it handles flight sims (that include rolling, banking and the additional manouvers sim racing doesn't typically involve). These issues leave too many questions to me about whether this is good for DCS. Maybe a detailed flight sim review from someone would change my mind.
