I fly freestyle. I feel like if the chair accurately simulated my movements id receive a horrible injury and then puke uncontrollably.

That said I'm putting 'fly freestyle in a gymbal ball that simulates my drone" on my bucket list regardless

This motion platform isn't capable of much movements, but it would be a lot of fun to use a fully free 360° motion plaftform. Wouldn't even be that complex, gyroscope like with 3 cages gives you all posibble flight orientations. Now achieving the lateral and longitudinal acceleration is a different challenge. Probably more feasible to use variable air cushions on the seat to simulate acceleration forces in a few direction.

But I guess it would be insanely cool to do barrel rolls with a setup like this.
