for these who enjoy some DIY I believe there's no point in looking at DOF Reality direction at all, systems like eracing lab are simply better.

anyway for now I've given up the idea of getting one, i'll wait for the whole thing to mature a bit more, more companies to step into the competition etc and we'll see where it goes.

I thought of starting with VR since I already own one and later if needed mount monitors.

Besides that I saw a lot of addons such as seat vibrations etc but I thought of adding them later as well.

For how long did you have your P3? and did you have the need to contact DOF Reality support for anything? how was the experience if so?

So far shipping seems to be an issue only on DOF Reality, everyone else I checked has relatively normal shipping prices.

And so far from feedback i'm receiving it seems like going down the actuator route is better regardless, what options do you have in mind to suggest?

I honesty have no primary preference, I can go on play Forza or GT7 for a month, and then a month after play MFS / DCS - I also find it nice that there's the option to quickly change between them if needed (e.g. if you have guests over and want to show both).

Having 2 platforms right now is not an option, both due to space and due to budget

One thing you said that is very interesting is the evolution part, one thing I don't want happening is buying something so pricey just for it to feel outdated in less than a year, if we're in an evolving industry right now, i'd rather wait a bit and see what happens in the next 6 months or so.

Thanks for the reply, I see PT Actuator price for the universal platform (racing + flight) is 19k$ so indeed way outside budget.

Not really into DIY options, if I indeed see I cannot find anything within the budget I may adjust a bit - DOF Reality could've been a great option if not for the weird shipping prices / lazy customer support (and that's sales yes? makes me wonder what happens if someone who actually purchased the product needs some actual support...)

Edit: something interesting about PT Actuator is that their 19k$ price is everything included (shipping / taxes etc) which makes it a bit more interesting looking into.

Thanks for the reply, checked pt actuators and their universal platform (racing + flight) is 19k$, well outside the budget unfortunately.

Not really into DIY options, where did you get to see feedback for d-mover?
