VR and force feedback yoke
Technology is moving fast.
As a PPL with night and IMC ratings, plus many years gliding/ motor gliding, I can highly recommend a VR headset and force feedback yoke. The experience is staggeringly immersive, placing you right "in" the cockpit.
I use a Rift with a Brunner yoke. The yoke vibrates when taxying across grass, and truly comes alive in flight, providing servo-driven feedback during all stages. Forces are adaptable to suit your particular needs. Aerobatics are particularly fun, as is the ability to "fly" any aircraft from any airport.
