Hi. Ive been fortunate enough to have a few goes in some big, full motion simulators. The range of movment they can achieve is scary to look at when you are outside the sim in the control room.
Inside with motion turned on, they feel ALMOST real. They do acceleration, (ie pwr and braking) obviously pitching and rolling and also yaw. The problem is, that although they simulate most of these very well, they are still somewhat plastic. And for someone used to what actually happens in the real world it confuses your senses a fair bit. My experience is that this "cant quite put my finger on whats wrong here" feeling made me a little nausious. It passes but is rather weird to get used to. It is pretty cool to be flying such a big, heavy plane though. especailly when >moderate turbulence is dialed in :-) James.
