Research into control forces

There was an RAeS lecture by Dr Guy Gratton in Farnborough very recently in which he described his research into the relationship between stick forces and accidents. His conclusion was that low stick forces, which are usual seen by pilots as desirable, are actually a major contributing factor to accidents in light aircraft, as pilots inadvertently stall the aircraft whilst engaged in other cockpit tasks.

If you could create variable force feedback, you may be able to demonstrate this in your simulator.
