I would like to see sims with a better representation of inertia. It is difficult to quantifly, but i dont believe that a 3 or 400 tonne aircraft can change direction/attitude as quickly as happens in the sim.
This can also be witness during a crosswind landing. In a real heavy, you can fly into the flare crabbed, then kick it straight with rudder and keep the wings level with aileron and the aircraft will track straigh for a short time due to inertia. In our sims it seems that the aircraft drifts immediately.
Another area is the EFATO. The rolling and yawing rates that are generated by non violent control inputs do not seem to be consistent to what you see when flying the line. Once again i cannot quantify this as i have not had a real engine failure yet on this jet.
In my previous company i had much better knowledge of this area, and the sim was nothing like the aircraft, but that was a much lower level of sim, so my observation are not valid for current simulators.
