Getting the boxes in

Check doors, stairs and turns on the way to your room against these box sizes from DOF Reality.

H2	64 lb, 37 x 15 x 11 in	64 lb, 32 x 24 x 10 in

P6e	133 lb, 32 x 28 x 12 in	144 lb, 32 x 28 x 12 in

The platform is made of steel profiles, so the boxes are heavy for their size. Have a second person or a hand truck ready for the 6-axis boxes.

Space

• Footprint: 3 x 5 ft for the H3 and H4, 4 x 5 ft for the 6-axis H6 and P6e, 2 x 5 ft for the H2. All stand about 2 ft high before your seat goes on.
• Around it: leave room to climb in and out and for your screen or a free-standing monitor stand. Triple screens go on a free-standing stand, not on the platform.
• Floor: a flat, level spot. DOF Reality makes a floor mat for its platforms.

Power and computer

• The control unit runs on 100-240 V and plugs into a wall outlet. Peak draw is 500 W (M2, H2), 750 W (H3), 1000 W (H4) or 1500 W (6 axes), per DOF Reality.
• Install the SimRacingStudio motion software on a Windows PC and connect the control unit by USB. On PS5 or Xbox, DOF Reality's MagicBox adapter works for games that send motion data.

Have these ready

No DOF Reality platform includes a seat, wheel, pedals, PC, screen, VR headset or games. Order your seat with the platform so you can bolt it on the day it arrives. See options and upgrades.

Setup day

1. DOF Reality assembles, tests and tunes each platform, then takes it apart to ship. Unpack both boxes and check every part against the box list.
2. Bolt the frame together with the included tools, then mount your seat, wheel base and pedals.
3. Install the motion software on your PC, connect the control unit by USB and plug it in.
4. Start with low motion settings and raise them as you get used to it.
