Do use it -- kind of hard not to

6 degrees means you can introduce movement WITHOUT tilt and these are more "realistic" ( for short periods of time )

First off, I am not talking about vibration or shock but sustainable accelerations.

Realizing the force is generated by an acceleration, not using gravity requires higher system velocities and much more displacement. I don't see how it is practical not to use gravity. If you tried to maintain 1g of lateral acceleration for one second then the simulator would have to move 4.9 meters not counting the ramp up and down.

This is also why I don't see the need for more than three degrees of freedom in the Force Dynamics setup. Using gravity in pitch, roll, and yaw in my opinion should be a reasonably cost effective method.
