That should be possible.
Although I'm not sure the Artificial Horizon is enough to provide correct cockpit positioning.

The effects of Gs put on the pilot maneuvering, accelerating or decelerating affects our internal gyro fooling the brain to think it's traveling in a diffirent direction than what (s)he actually is. (This is what causes motion sickness). Those effects can not be simulated with the AH alone. Or so I believe
