HI, I guess spinning the cockpit around z axis can roughly achieve what Curt says. When making a coordinated turn with 15 degree bank, you can rotate the cockpit around roll axis about 15 degree, and then, spin the cockpit around z axis. this way you can keep yourself on the seat depending on the speed of the spin. (spinning too fast may make you feel sick and is not very realistic though :-p).
If the center of the spin is at the outside the cockpit like a carousel, it would be better in realistic simulation but the system becomes complex and very big. Don't ask me "what about making a turn to the opposite direction?" or "what about vertical loops?" it's just an (stupid) idea. Tat p.s. Anyway, I wish I could have such cockpit in my room even it doesn't move that much.
