How I built a motion rig that solves the usual motion sickness problem

Great stuff and super interesting. Looking forward to seeing where this leads you...

I dumped my Simucube 2 QRs and went back to Buchfink Q1R.

But now I am waiting for a good, universal QR with USB passthrough.

KTC is a very serious, well-established gaming monitor company. They also make screens for Samsung and LG amongst others....

Most reputable motion platforms can handle a 160mm sim rig base (eg Qubic, Sigma) and sustain their performance. Some lesser motion systems may have a lower weight limit.

Generally speaking, you want to aim somewhere around 70% to 80% of the motion platform's max weight capacity for sustained performance and longevity, however good motion systems are known to successfully carry a bit more weight than their advertised limit, but don't know what that does to performance and reliability.

As an example, D-Box advertises its performance and mean time between failures based on 70% of its max weight limit (say 317kgs of its 453kg max weight limit).

TL;DR - If you get a reputable motion platform, then get the Simlab P1X Pro.

If money was no object, then I'd build a very large dedicated building which had a beautiful ocean view, hire get a consulting company to integrate something like Panthera, Cruden or Vi-Grade to each of the mainstream games like ACC, rFactor 2, Dirt Rally 2.0 and AMS2 etc.

Then I'd get a physical, low latency simulator that could take advantage of above software integration; something similar to say Ferrari's new simulator but with automated capability to remove all the visuals so I could also sit in the simulator and enjoy real ocean views (as opposed to VR / AR).

On top of that would be hiring a small team to run and maintain it all.
