Featuring true 4-axis movement (Pitch, Roll, Yaw\/Rear Traction, and Heave), the H4 is the only at-home motion simulator capable of delivering authentic vertical G-force sensations, road bumps, turbulence, jumps, and changes in acceleration with high precision. Built on over a decade of motion simulator development since 2014, DOF Reality engineered the H4 to bring professional-grade realism into a compact, quiet platform designed for home use.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nConstructed from high-strength European commercial-grade steel, the H4 moves all primary controls - seat, wheel, pedals, and flight controls - as a single unified unit, delivering accurate force feedback through your body's pressure points rather than relying on visual effects alone. With a compact floor footprint of 3 x 5.2 ft and a height of just 2 ft, it fits comfortably in most home sim spaces without sacrificing motion performance. Compatible with all major racing wheels, flight controls, HOTAS setups, and VR headsets, the H4 is a true plug-and-play platform ready to elevate your simulator experience.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-Axis Motion (4 DOF):\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Pitch, Roll, Yaw\/Rear Traction, and Heave axes deliver true vertical G-force sensations - a capability unavailable on most home simulators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeave Axis:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feel road bumps, turbulence, landing impacts, and changes in acceleration through realistic vertical movement - unique to the H4 in its class.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRange of Motion - 20 Degrees:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-platform 20-degree motion range across all axes for immersive, realistic physical feedback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed - 50 cm\/s (86 deg\/s):\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast, responsive actuators ensure motion cues are delivered instantly and accurately to match in-game events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTorque - 25 Nm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Powerful motors handle up to 440 lbs (200 kg) of pilot weight with consistent, high-torque performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower - 1000 Watt Peak:\u003c\/strong\u003e Energy-efficient 100-240V universal power supply handles global voltage standards with a USB control interface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial-Grade European Steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-strength steel profiles provide long-term structural rigidity, stability, and durability for years of daily use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact Footprint - 3 x 5.2 ft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surprisingly space-efficient at 100 x 150 cm with a 60 cm platform height, making it suitable for home sim rooms and garages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Works with all major sim titles including Microsoft Flight Simulator, DCS, X-Plane, iRacing, Assetto Corsa, and more.

Trusted by sim enthusiasts worldwide and refined through years of real-world feedback, the H4 represents the pinnacle of at-home 4-axis simulation available at a price that was previously unthinkable outside of professional training environments. The addition of Heave transforms the experience entirely, making helicopter and flight simulation feel genuinely physical in a way that 2- and 3-axis platforms simply cannot replicate. Built from commercial-grade steel with precision SFU gearing and extra-smooth actuation, this platform is engineered for years of dependable, daily use without loosening, rattling, or degrading. Whether you're logging hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, battling in DCS World, or pushing the limits in iRacing, the H4 delivers a level of immersion that will change the way you think about sim racing and flight forever.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDegrees of Freedom\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 DOF (Pitch + Roll + Yaw\/Rear Traction + Heave)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFull Platform Motion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange of Motion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 cm\/s (86 deg\/s)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTorque\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 Nm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAcceleration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.7G Translational \/ 0.5G Lateral\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000 Watt (peak)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eControl Unit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100-240V with USB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFloor Footprint\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 x 5.2 ft (100 x 150 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlatform Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 ft (60 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMax Supported Pilot Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e440 lbs \/ 200 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommercial grade metal profiles (European steel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping Box 1\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78 lbs (37 x 15 x 11 in) \/ 35 kg (94 x 38 x 28 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping Box 2\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e97 lbs (32 x 24 x 10 in) \/ 44 kg (80 x 60 x 25 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-year full warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly Required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - platform ships in two boxes and requires assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUpgradable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - upgradable to H6 (6-DOF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eManuals \u0026amp; Guides\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/HTCMotionCancellation_6fd91c43-4d15-4ee9-8a75-ff370f9e77b2.pdf?v=1784835691\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"HTC VR Motion Cancellation Guide\"\u003eHTC VR Motion Cancellation Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1724\/7681\/files\/OpenVR_e8e1f188-62a6-402f-bdd6-38b02a8d056f.pdf?v=1784835695\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"OpenVR Motion Compensation Setup Guide\"\u003eOpenVR Motion Compensation Setup Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDo I need to assemble the H4 platform myself?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes, the H4 ships in two boxes and requires assembly.

This means with the H4 you can physically feel road bumps, turbulence, helicopter lift, landing impacts, and acceleration changes in a way the H3 cannot replicate. The H4 also supports a higher maximum pilot weight of 440 lbs versus 330 lbs for the H3, and draws more peak power (1000W vs 750W) to drive that additional axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes the H4 work with VR headsets?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes, the H4 is fully compatible with all major VR headsets, including the Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus\/Meta Quest series, HP Reverb G2, Pimax, and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.

Optional seats (including DOF Reality, Sparco R100, R333, Sprint, and others) are available as add-on accessories.
