I bought a 3DOF 2 month ago. Buying, money transfer and delivery went well. Took about a month overall with building, delivery and picking up with customs (they haven’t found the provided clearance papers…, but totally customs fault.
Two packages, about 30 and 18 kilo respectively. Quality is good, looks (and feels) sturdy enough. bolts and screws are provided in labeled packages. I had some small parts were paint coating was breaking off, but those are in (later) min visible parts.
Buildup was done in about 3 hours. All tools were provided (in better quality than Ikea, thumbs up), keeping another wrench nearby is recommended though. Looking at photos on the page and videos helped a lot though. You shouldn’t expect Lego level instructions.
Software installation was a pretty ok. install some three programms, although some steps were unclear in the software. Solved them after emailing about clarifying some instructions. Skimming the forums helped as well. I am using it (solely atm) with PCars2. Fine tuning took a long time though and is an ongoing process.
Using the thing is awesome. In connection with VR its the closest I came to regulary drive a 911 GT3 RS on a track. Sensation for breaking/accelerating are really good and differ a lot for different cars. Flooring the paddle in a GT86 is ok, in aformentioned 911 stunning and outright frightening in an F1 car. I dont feel any lag between driving and seat reaction.
Same goes for sideway movement, could use some more “power” there, but I guess nothing will simulate 4g in an F1 high speed corner… Feeling is good nevertheless.
Yaw movement is brilliant, both in controlled (drift) and uncontrolled (spin) conditions.
“Downsides” are: I don’t go as reckless or as far over to the limit as without the seat. Impacting a wall does not feel good. And now I know, why Nordschleifes Compression is called exactly that.
After all: would buy again and thanks to the guys of dofreality.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of workmanship.
I had the idea that DOF was kind of a garage operation, but the box and contents were very well designed and assembled.
I’ve been inside boxes from all of the big players, and DOF was as good as any and better than most.

I bought my DOF-P2 in February 2019. I upgraded DOF-P3 in February 2020 then another upgrade to DOF-P6 in January 2021. So, if you ask me if I like this platform, you already have the answer. I have done a lot of research on aviation simulator platforms (FSX, XPlane, FS2020) and the DOFReality are the most advantageous: quality-price / Ease of installation / game interface / calibration. Besides the purchase, the transport is done in a jiffy.

Installation is simplified by clear installation manuals (pdf) and how-to videos. If you have difficulty, the after-sales service is at the end of an email and believe me, you will not wait 24 hours before we answer you … rather 24 minutes. The philosophy at DOFReality in my experience is to sell you a simulator platform and make sure it works great. The people at DOFReality go to great lengths to make your simulator a success and an unforgettable experience. Besides, that’s probably why I went from P2 to P3 then to P6, and I have no regrets.

To have known, I would have bought the P6 directly which would have saved me on the purchase and transport-duty fees (Oh yes, I took my P2 controller and the base, bought 2 new motors and I built a seat to fly RV with passenger in FS2020!). In conclusion, DOFReality offers reliable and robust platforms at a very competitive price, a flawless interface and professional quality service wherever you are in the world.

If you want to do business with a company that cares about the success of your platform project, DOFReality is undoubtedly your best choice.
