Visual to aerodynamic and motion reaction is difficult and demonstrated well in the differences between the first digital visuals on the VC10 sims at Brize and the 747-400s and later 777 s at Cranebank. On the VC10 tankers, with receiver in trail, closing the throttles and hitting airbrakes placed a receiver probe centre screen. The 'recovery time' for the hydraulic motion systems was a bit limiting too. The newer electric versions may be better but I have not experienced them. A few years back an inquiry into a United Airlines (?) engine breakup pointed out the discrepancy in experience of such, in the sim, as against in the real world, both visually and in sensation.
