The YawVR Motion system was brought to my attention a few months ago and immediately got me interested! At a relatively cheap $1490 USD for the Standard Edition, and $1990 USD for the Pro Edition which includes more powerful motors, and additional bracketry for mounting joysticks and sim racing wheels, and 360 degrees of Yaw, could this potentially be a VR Sim Racer’s dream?
Today we get stuck into the hardware to see how it holds up as a Sim Racing rig.

Whenever this thing moves, the vr detects it as head movement. Nauseating at best. There needs to be a way to isolate the platform movement so your in-game head isn’t swiveling all over the place.
Did part 2 ever get made? Can't find it in the videos.
I have one. It's a total piece of crap. You can't mount any real pedal set due to the balance issue. The center base for the wheel, just rests in a "groove" and the entire thing pops out and your wheel will not be secured at all. The unit base is completely cheap thin plastic that will break on you. Mine has had nothing but issues, I have only used it successfully once, the rest of the time has been spent waiting for repair parts. I ordered it in July. I am trying to return it at this point, and I will have to spend hundreds in shipping to do so (after spending hundreds in shipping to get it in the first place). Could not be LESS happy w/ the product.
can we expect to see this working???
So….no part 2?
Great presentation and editing
The close up shots in the last 10% of this vid where he moves his head like a bubble head gave me nausea…
Wow what terrible design and QC on this product.Whether it’s designed for sim racing or not, why would you not have a simple lock for the wheel/yoke mount? Not surprising that there’s apparently no Part 2 to this product review.
Did you buy this?
Horrible design! Why would you make it a half egg to sit in?? Your legs have to flop over a hard edge?? Why wouldn't you cut out the parts where your legs go?
Oh god drilling metal on a carpet…metal splinters in your feet for years.
So what exactly are you playing in this abomination? Roller coaster tycoon or something? If it is not suited for driving sims, it is defenitely not usable for any shooter or any game where you are sup. to walk, it is basically useless, exept maybe for flight sims…
is the best motion sim rig ..ever….bati campii !
Where is part 2, i want to see this in action now… Great content revue btw.
what happened in the meantime? – No support from YAW guys – no time to test – just crap ??!?!?! All I'd be interested in Part 2 !!!
Servus & Cheers from BAVARiA,

Where the heck is part 2
You didn't even try it! You call that a review?
So many of these devices are so near but you'd think they'd make changes to perfect their designs before putting it to retail… Bad experiences for early customers and reviewers don't make for good future purchases and can quickly lead to your brand getting a bad reputation for unreliability, poor quality, or poor customer service. I like this and they're definately onto a winner I think. It looks cool and compact (which is very good) and I think it would be ideal for many who can't afford super tech but it does seem a bit expensive for what it is. Cheaper, better design, compatability with concoles and I'd buy it…. not at £1200 though. This would be an ideal complimentary device for Sony's upcoming VR2. They should pitch it to Sony for some investment… one thing I heard (excuse the pun) was that it' pretty silent when using which is always a bonus.
is there a part 2?
Part 2?
Where's part 2 ?????????
Not convertible to Center Long stick tho for Flight/Space Sim
Where is part 2?
Putting a thick rubberband on the hooks after it slides in works ok to keep it in place. Looking for a better solution, but it's worked wonderful so far. No issues with the ethernet cable, but I don't understand why you wired it in. It works brilliantly over wifi, no need to hard-wire.
Are you ratatouille !?!
If i have to drill holes on a rig that cost 1500 its going back asap!
Thank you so much for video! It was very instructional. This product is more proof of concept rather than fit and finish. For people that worked hard to save money to purchase this (not everyone have a spare $1500 lying around) then having a drill lying around (I don't) then having the technical/arts & crafts skills to put this together (again…I don't) is a deal breaker.
Maybe they should outsource the manufacturing…I would pay a few hundred dollars more for a spit and polished version. I mean come on, let the screws screw(?) and the holes line up right at least. I don't think that's too much for a consumer to ask. The idea is great…it's the finish that will disappoint
Hopefully the creators of this got rid of the crack before law enforcement showed up. This is terrible.
Can't find Part 2. Is it out? Looking forward to your experience connecting it to PC and how is the drive? I bought one and I'm stuck trying to get the PC to see it. Have reached out to YawVR as well. Cheers
I'm guessing there was expansion issues during the shipment
Where's part 2?
Does anyone know what happen to the part two?
Part 2 anytime soon? Lol I know that Yaw VR is a bit far from a polished experience, but it would be nice to see what a fellow sim racer could of would do with it.
Great video – look forward to the testing phase. In the same way you tend to trade off fidelity for immersion when playing in VR (which as a VR enthusiast is an acceptable trade-off) I feel for those of us without monster DD wheels the flex might be greatly diminished / an acceptable trade-off for what might be a ton more immersion at a great price? Especially keen to find out what yaws adds to a failing/ on the limit back end.
Part 2 dude?????
This video was a waist of my time he did nothing but talk not a talk show bro lame never watching again
part 2 please.
is this available for star squadron?
no its not, this is not even 2 dof its just a big balloon
It does work over wifi as well. Ethernet is just an option.
This is unfortunate…I hope Yaw VR is taking notes…I am no longer interested in this thing after seeing your honest review…
Curious, did you get yours from the Kickstarter or did you order it online?
your body language tells me that you smoke crack, but i still enjoy your content mate
Looks like you weren't brave enough to try and I don't blame you.
should use a tap set instead of a drill, you could strip the threads and render the screws useless.
edit: misunderstood.
finally a good video, LTT's video was terrible. lol.
Would you recomend using a 49" Curved Gaming Monitor Odyssey G9 for sim racing?
When will Part 2 drop?
