I think your first step is to check with the flight simulation company as they have medical requirements. Guidelines tend to be about 30cm from a source of EM radiation but this will vary depending on the source. Large electro magnets like those in scrap yards are a definite no no! Tight cockpits like a Spitfire might be more problematical than something larger than a 747. Let us know how it goes.
