H3 motion sim ran 8 hours a day for 3 days straight, thrilling over 140 aviation enthusiasts.
A full-cockpit 3-axis motion platform built for flight and helicopter simulation, the H3 HERO (flight version) moves the entire cockpit - yoke, pedals, joystick, and monitor along with the seat - across pitch, roll, and yaw to reproduce the physical sensations of real flight. It is the flight-specific variant of the H3 platform and is equally capable of helicopter and racing simulation without compromise.
The key difference from the racing version is an additional gearbox fitted to each motor. These extra gearboxes deliver smoother, quieter motion during the slow, continuous control inputs that characterize flight and helicopter simulation - movements that would otherwise expose mechanical roughness in a standard drivetrain.
The platform delivers 3 degrees of freedom at 50 cm/s (86 deg/s), 25 Nm torque, and a 20-degree range of motion per axis. It is built from commercial-grade steel profiles and supports pilots up to 440 lbs (200 kg). The SFU gearboxes eliminate backlash and reduce noise compared to worm-gear alternatives.
Motion is driven by a SimRacingStudio license included with the rig, which reads aircraft telemetry to reproduce runway bumps, turbulence, coordinated and uncoordinated turns, climbs, descents, and collisions as distinct physical cues. Compatible sims include Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, X-Plane 10/11/12, DCS World, IL-2 Sturmovik, and others. Windows, PlayStation, and Xbox are all supported.
Compatible across all major platforms and dozens of racing and flight games.
H3 Hero ships from Poland. Delivery to the US takes approximately 3-4 weeks. The platform is fully assembled and tested, then disassembled for transport. The platform ships in two boxes with all reassembly tools and hardware included.
