Flight sims, small market.
Combat flight sims, even smaller market.
People buying CoD, very tiny market.
People willing to drop a few thousand on a sim pit, I can't even comprehend how tiny a market share that would be.

I don't see how they would ever get the money back from implementing it given the dev costs (even if they did it in a week).

Still, maybe we'll see it.
I wouldn't be so sure. Oleg has provided support for simpits since IL-2 via "device link".

I can't see the videos posted on this thread at the moment due to my work's firewalls so they may already have been shown, but there is a Swiss company that makes a simpit for IL-2 right now.

... and don't forget sim sites selling heaps of components where you can build your own.

Hell my boss is building a 737 replica cockpit. He's just forked out $1500 for a 737 control yoke for his project, and actually built a second garage for it. I do agree that we're in a very small niche market but there are people out the who are willing to spend the $$$ to build their own simpits.
