Step into the cockpit with the DOF Reality HERO H2 Helicopter Motion Simulator, the industry-leading 2-axis platform engineered for unmatched realism in rotary-wing flight simulation. Built with professional-grade mechanics and specialized gearboxes for ultra-smooth motion, this simulator brings your helicopter training or gaming experience to life—whether you're hovering, banking, or descending.
Designed for serious helicopter pilots, flight schools, and immersive gamers, the HERO H2 offers full-motion capability across pitch and roll, accurately mimicking the forces encountered during real-world helicopter operation. Unlike the racing version, the HERO H2 includes a dedicated gearbox on each motor to deliver precise, slow-motion control needed for hovering, soft landings, and smooth directional shifts.
With all components—cyclic, collective, pedals, joystick, and monitors—moving together, this full-rig motion system delivers a deeply immersive simulation experience. Paired with Sim Racing Studio software, the HERO H2 responds to real-time telemetry data to simulate turbulence, engine vibration, runway textures, weather effects, and more.
Perfect for home users and commercial simulators alike, this platform combines performance, durability, and affordability—backed by a comprehensive warranty and global 24/7 support.
