To make it worth while to implement in the game you have to take into account the cost to code it then subtract the money you will make by people buying it (who would not have bothered if it didn't support simpits).

If you have a positive number, then it was worth it to develop.
You misunderstand. I am (and it sounded like you where) talking about the growing prevalence of SimPits.

Sustained support of a features needs profits.

But when any company is on the bleeding edge they must be prepared to sacrifice some funds to make or support a product, offer to customers, and see if they bite.
The real trick is the potential market/return on investment if successful, but that is as easy as looking in a crystal ball.

No.
If you want to feel G, get in airplane.
If you want *some* feeling of motion, then you have a simpit.

The huge simulators are not giant exercise machines, they are their to *simulate* the motions of the aircraft, not recreate it.
