I'm surprised that you haven't had one of the more recent complaints about Sim fidelity (or lack of it), the lack of representative sound and vibration cues following engine failure. I seem to recall that one particular real-life incident (UAL?) caused concern in that the crew reported that they had not previously experienced the disorientation effects of very heavy vibration, both physical and visual. Given the standard motion systems in use I suspect that to introduce such effects would place a very heavy burden on the mechanical side of things. Such high frequency direction reversals on the jacks whether they are hydraulic or electrical would, I imagine, be difficult to implement but, impossible???.... I would appreciate your comments.
