I wonder how much that would cost to hook up to a flight simulator?

Ahh to be rich enough for those types of toys.

For flight sims you need one that can go upside down.

Just my luck, I would have such a chair and I would forget to disable it when I access a porn site.

Try explaining that to the health insurance company!!!!!

Commercial simulators dont

If you watch carefully the chair actually moves in exactly the opposite direction of movement to 'trick' the senses into feeling G forces.

Accellerate the chair tilts up. Brake the chair tilts down.

The key is to fill the entire field of view to block out the 'horizon'.

I was joking. Yes, I picked up the 'g-force' motion right away. It also tilts left when you turn right, all of which simulates Gallileo's rule of inertia and Newton's Third Law of Motion. With a flight sim chair it would have to be programmed to do the opposite - tilt in the direction of travel, as that's what pilots do to offset that very effect. Even inverted pilots in combat maintain positive G - most of the time.
