"Well i was thinking, in an airliner the captain is sat to the left of the axis of rotation (bank). "

But the captain is only 1 to 1.5 metres left of the axis of rotation and the horizon is hundreds or even thousands of metres away, so the very small offset would have a neglible effect on what can be actually seen.

Also the lower Sim view is a totally false representation of what it is actually like as the HUD is still in front of the pilot, therefore what the captain will see is the top view.
