Dave Gittins,
it was fairly sluggish in roll but very sensitive in pitch
Flew a B737 sim at Dublin as the skills test part of an interview. I was current B757/767 and was being assessed by an agent for a B757 appointment in Switzerland. I found it very sensitive all round cf the B757.
In a later appointment, flying the B747, some of our new guys remarked on its inertia (They WERE ex Harrier )

I don't know if it's been said before but it would be interesting to carry out a research project to see what the results would be of throwing a range of people into a sim and advising them from outside by 'radio'. One problem would be that, if the sim motion is on, you can damage the sim but, if it is not on, that detracts from the realism.
