What is, or is there, any real difference between the full motion B-727 sim used in 1970 compared to a Level-D sim of today?
I think that you'll find that in those days the Sims had a 3 or 4 axis motion system. Nowadays they have a 6 axis system (roll, pitch, yaw, heave, surge & sway). Some even have a secondary motion system on top of the primary one to simulate vibrations etc (helicopter ones)

Transport delay less than 150 milliseconds
This means that when the controls are moved in a particular axis (roll, pitch, yaw), the visual sytem as well as the instruments (ADI) must respond within that time. Level B is 300 ms
