Default GA is priceless

Some sort of flashing light thing off in your peripheral vision, moving up and down slowly and out of phase with
simulated aircraft orientation. Maybe not a flashing light, just varying in intensity, maybe like one of those old
special effects you would see on the Twilight Zone, with the spiral line slowly turning....


I was thinking something more in line with random movements that had to
be corrected by the pilot. Very minor movements, but ones that would
force some concentration and cross-check. With head tracking software
you could randomly put the plane into small turns whenever the user
looks away from the 6-pack... Along with turbulence settings that
accelerate the deviations...

In reality though who would care? It still woulnd't be full motion and
it still wouldnt be reasonable simulation of the real environment. I'd
rather spend the time flying :-)
