    Check out the video of the car motion simulator that Festo developed using air muscles (or something):

    I think they just use the LFS outgauge app. But it is crap, if you asked me... Just a little jumping arround without coordination.

    Yes its a crap, the muscles must be under load to stop jumping around and then its still just bumping you around with no real motion cues. The rotation is so little to benefit from the earths gravity and produce any acceleration effects.

    In short words what you get is just the feeling of the bumps of the road...

    My Motion Simulator:
    2DOF, AC motor
    Also you need a compressor to run pneumatics, which is quite loud
