Record keeping, Pre-Flight sign-off, and things of that nature. This is what I found relating to the penalties:

Agree. The hydraulic/electric motion legs are limited in their extension, as well as having a fixed base to the floor which prevents the sim from producing continuos g forces. This is why the thread did not focus on motion as I didn't want people who have never experienced a full motion sim to think the sim could faithly reproduce<...>Sticking to motion, a latency error is acknowledged by RAeS as any ground based FFS with motion capabilities inevitably has severe limitations with respect to motion generation. As a consequence, modifications have to be made to the signals derived from the aeroplane's states to keep the motion system from running into its limits and giving erroneous motion perception to the pilot. Such modifications mean that resulting cues generated through the motion system will inevitably deviate from those experienced in the real aeroplane and so sophisticated use of the available motion capability is required to avoid adverse affects.
the motion forces felt on the body.
Mach1,
It's good to know that I'd have a decent chance of getting on the ground if the opportunity ever presented itself. I'll have to try different settings for TOW,
Wind, weather, etc. to get a sense of how the sim feels with different configurations, and atmospheric conditions.
