Actually, it occurs to me that for the purpose we are discussing, an off the shelf HOTAS & yoke plus a VR helmet like an Occulus Rift or similar should suffice for the visual interface, so it's just a chair with a full motion system to make it move...
Sim manufacturers won't be happy, but you may have a point.
Any game manufacturer might come up with a decent 3D seat sim and software, to offer pilots lots of hand flying for far less $$$ than the full blown multi k$$$ of the industry.
And they are good at replicating cockpit and aircraft behavior.
