Discussion about actually building a motion based simulator

Hi,

I am dreaming about building a motion based flight simulator and
wondered if this is the correct group to be in?

I looked at sci.aeronautics.simulation as mentioned in this group's
FAQ, but that seems to be a dead group just full of cr*p posts.

Stuff I'd like to get opinion on is things like 6 DOF motion
platforms, 360 degree projection displays, motor/pneumatic/hydraulic
control etc. Software available and what it supports. Etc etc etc.

Anyone up for this?
