Take your simulation to the next level with the DOF Reality HERO H3 3-Axis Universal Motion Simulator Platform — a high-performance, full-motion system built for serious sim racers, flight enthusiasts, helicopter pilots, and multi-discipline users. With advanced SFU gearboxes and extra-smooth gearing, the HERO H3 delivers unmatched realism, responsiveness, and versatility across sim racing, fixed-wing flight, and helicopter simulation — all in one affordable, upgradeable platform.
Featuring three degrees of freedom — pitch, roll, and yaw with rear traction loss — the HERO H3 replicates real-world dynamics like acceleration, braking, understeer/oversteer, climbs/descents, hover drift, and tail rotor feedback. The precision gearboxes provide ultra-smooth, slow-motion accuracy, making it ideal for delicate helicopter controls while delivering crisp, high-speed feedback for racing and fixed-wing maneuvers.
As a true full-rig motion design, the entire cockpit moves as one unit — seat, monitor, pedals, wheel/yoke/joystick, collective, throttle, and controls — for authentic g-force simulation through body pressure and muscle tension. Integrated with Sim Racing Studio (SRS), the platform translates real-time telemetry into vivid effects: road texture, gear shifts, turbulence, rotor torque, ground effect, and collision impacts.
Whether you're pushing limits in iRacing/Assetto Corsa, mastering Microsoft Flight Simulator/X-Plane, or training in DCS/Helicopter sims, the DOF Reality HERO H3 is the ultimate universal 3DOF motion platform — backed by global support, a full warranty, and easy upgrade path to 6DOF.
Why it stands out
Versatile 3DOF Universal Motion
Pitch, roll, and yaw with rear traction loss provide realistic cues for sim racing (understeer/oversteer), fixed-wing flight (climbs/descents), and helicopter simulation (hover drift/yaw control) without hardware changes.
Ultra-Smooth SFU Gearbox Motors
Precision gearboxes deliver extra-smooth, low-speed accuracy — perfect for nuanced helicopter inputs while maintaining sharp response for racing and flight sims.
Full-Rig Motion Synchronization
The entire cockpit moves together — seat, monitor, wheel/yoke, pedals, collective, throttle — for immersive, cohesive g-force feedback across all disciplines.
Advanced SRS Telemetry Integration
Sim Racing Studio converts real-time data into lifelike motion: road bumps, turbulence, rotor torque, impacts, and ground effect for maximum realism.
Multi-Sim Compatibility & Upgrade Path
Supports major titles like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, MSFS, X-Plane, DCS — plus easy upgrade to full 6DOF H6. Works with 8020 rigs and popular controls.
Proven Reliability & Support
Built by DOF Reality since 2014 with 24/7 global support, 1-year warranty, and durable commercial-grade construction for serious use.

FAQ
The HERO H3 combines pitch, roll, yaw, and rear traction loss with SFU gearboxes for smooth precision across all disciplines — excelling in racing (understeer/oversteer), fixed-wing flight, and helicopter hover/yaw without compromises or hardware changes.
This is a full-rig motion system: the entire setup — seat, monitor, pedals, wheel/yoke/joystick, collective, throttle — moves together for cohesive, in-cockpit immersion.
Powered by Sim Racing Studio (SRS), it supports major PC titles like iRacing, Assetto Corsa, rFactor 2, Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, DCS World, and more via telemetry. Compatibility expands regularly — share your main titles for setup advice.
PC is standard for full SRS features. For console motion in supported games, add the optional MagicBox — it handles motion only while your peripherals connect directly to the console.
Yes — its robust build, smooth gearboxes, and versatility make it popular for flight/helicopter training and serious sim racing. For certified programs, check local requirements; for home, it offers excellent value with upgrade potential.
Footprint is ~ 100 × 150 cm (3 × 5 ft) with 60 cm height. Allow 50-100 cm extra clearance for motion travel, entry/exit, monitor, and cables.
Absolutely — official upgrade kit to the full 6DOF H6 model adds surge, sway, and heave for even greater immersion when ready.
Yes — full-platform motion enhances VR dramatically. Mount tracking sensors to the rig or use software compensation for smooth, low-nausea experiences across all sim types.
Includes a full 1-year warranty with optional extension. 24/7 global support from DOF Reality ensures quick help with setup, tuning, or issues.
