Hi Centaurus,

you might find that many actually enjoy their ability to fly the simulator ...just like the aircraft.
Until we get simulators capable of very large vertical motion (60 feet), and capable of cab rotation through 360 degs - nasa.gov/facilities/vms/index.shtml, then they will never "feel" just like the aircraft.

"The Motion Base, offers unequaled range of motion, moving as much as 60 feet vertically and 40 feet horizontally. This is one key to high-fidelity simulation and makes the VMS unsurpassed at simulating aircraft during all phases of flight, including the critical phases of landing and takeoff."
