Nice work. I would love to see a video of it in action.
Perhaps you can also put it on rockers and have someone stand behind you and shake the cockpit and tilt it around for you. :-)

maybee,
it can be used on other games already.
I use it in MS FSX also
the only limitation is interface software between the game and hardware.
MS FSX has all the software you need avail on net.
but I had to write my own for mercenary.
