Has anyone written some sort of program/hack to get position data out of MS
flight simulator that could be used to control a cockpit motion device? It
seems like it wouldn't be too hard to build a two axis positioner if you could
get the pitch and roll data out of the sim program.

I haven't heard of such a thing, but a starting point might be Netpipes.
See http://www.scenery.org/tutorials_fs2k2_SDK.htm
The SDK can be downloaded at
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...tpipes_SDK.exe

Sounds like an interesting challenge. A real motion device would be able
to simulate the sensation of acceleration, not just changes in pitch and
bank, but as the Netpipe interface gives you velocity information in 3
axes, you could derive the rate of change of velocity and feed that in.

Good Luck
