The Sim will never, ever be able to recreate the feel of the aircraft. Sim is for emergency training, not for learning how to bloody fly.
It is especially not able to simulate any constant acceleration. Not more than 1g in steep turns, not less than 1g when recovering from a high pitch attitude. It may even confuse pilots when it actually lifts them out of their seat when recovering from a stall, making them feel they do something wrong...
Sim is for procedure and CRM training. Especially the latter would not have hurt in this case...
