Motion sim run-a-way

[Brett Horton]

Afternoon guys,
1st world problem here.... My RS150 rig after roughly a 25 minute race moves across my floor, right about 2 inches and forward about 2 inches.... My DD1 actually touches my triple screen (middle screen) setup!!! The rig is on thin commercial carpet with rubber squares between the feet and the carpet Link Here. Has anyone had this issue and any suggestions would be great. And no I don't have crazy rates on roll and surge either
Thanks guys!

Does the carpet move or only the rig? There are thin rubber underlays for more carpet-grip. If it's the rig, you need more traction. Maybe bigger pieces of those washing-machine anti-vibration mats under the feet could provide that. I would certainly 3D-print some better solution than those feet.

Chassis motion platforms are known to walk under usage.

I don't have a simple answer that worked, but I mounted my motion chassis onto a separate Aluminum Extrusion platform with caster wheels.

When the caster wheels are locked, this kept the chassis in place under intense motion cues.

I use a rubber mat under the entire rig. That stopped the movements.
Not using a extreme travel motion system tho.
