Looks like fun :devil

Looks fun...until I looked for the price and found this little gem on their website:

"Typical cost of the basic model 4DOF Extreme is equal to middle class car."

Yeah, I considered the pricetag not so funny, too, but still.... this thing with a VR set is as close as it gets ....

Nope, it would screw up the accelerometers. You'd be unlikely to be able to use it with VR unless you could switch it to IR based tracking only.

I have the Next Level motion simulator. It works great with VR, the software compensates for the movement so it doesn't affect the headset. In AH it only follows the joystick movement not the aircraft orientation but it's still fun.
Also it's small and quiet and costs a bicycle instead of a car. You can use the motion base with your own cockpit and seat.

I would pay good money to watch his first flight.

The cost doesn't seem as bad if you consider what new fishing boats cost these days. I'll bet that people who buy this get to use it much more often than most people who spend the same or more on the boat.

You don't want too much seat movement because you don't have radial g holding you in the seat. With a monitor it's not as good but with VR a little motion combined with the world view changing is very convincing.

For flight sims motion is perfect for helicopters since its mostly low g and right side up. Feeling your balance point makes helicopters easier to fly.

Driving is the most developed motion experience and the combination of VR, FFB, and motion is just amazing.

Your IR-based tracking would have to be securely mounted in the cockpit so that your movement can be accurately measured relative to the cockpit.
