SI and sims

Emit (#962)
I understand (sadly on an intectual level only) the various methods used by simulators to trick the senses.

Lemurians point was that people who clain to have never felt SI etc are forgetting that simulators rely ont those illusions.

My point, or perhaps better a question, is whether a pilot would ever expererience the "pitch up" illusion in a simulator.

In other words does the simulator ever deliberatly cause mismatch between instruments (aircraft) and the induced motion illusion (pilot/seat of pants).
If the answer is no then then the instinctive reaction would be even harder to avoid.
