Hi DozyWannabe,

With all due respect, experienced pilots miss the absent acceleration clues in full motion simulator.

Some complain of motion sickness during turns on the ground. (The real heading doesn't change despite what the visual is doing.)
Some find it more difficult to keep straight on the runway due to the missing side ways acceleration sensation.
Some find it more difficult to judge the flare rate due to the missing vertical acceleration.
Some are too enthusiastic with pitch change during TCAS RA events due no sensation of delta g.

Most of us modify our inputs by what we feel as well as what the flight instruments say. Even autopilot inputs are modified using accelerometers.
