Howdy ! You guys have seen me here - lurking, asking for extensive detail, and pressure-testing the Sigma team - for well over a year now. My first motion system was the Dbox 1.5” gen 3 system. I just upgraded to the Sigma DK6. It was the right time and the planets aligned (rally has been my genre of choice for a while, the Sigma HW has evolved, their software is more refined, and there is more comprehensive game support).
I can’t review the system yet because I haven’t owned it long enough to do a legit review. But I can say that this is one big, beefy, solid system. I have a pretty heavy rig (over 300lbs), and I am a heavier guy. That meant that in addition to making sure my 80-20 rig (thanks advanced sim racing!) was super-reinforced, I needed to make sure that any motion system I purchased could handle at least as much weight and stress as the dbox system. So far it’s a non-issue, and I am confident in what I am seeing and feeling. In fact, the increase in motion agility is putting the Kirkey metal seat that my Gseat is made of to the test. I need to break out the lubricant for the squeaks at the assembly points! Then again, maybe I will leave it be as those squeaks have an organic element to them, as if I were in a real car .
When I do comment, I will comment not only on how the motion system itself is working, but also how well it integrates with other systems to create a holistic experience (this includes gseat and belt, wind, and soundtrack based haptics).
Takes a lot of time and energy to create a market facing product... Applaud anyone who has tried or is doing this now in volume. Not easy. :-| Ultimately competition and criticism is good. Evolving.
