After I got my PPL and bought my plane in 2002, I put a huge amount of work into making all of the instruments realistically inaccurate to reflect my actual flying experience -- they have lags, drift, etc. just like the real steam gauges. Other coders have contributed and improved since then. Try flying north of 45 deg latitude, for example, and watch how the magnetic compass behaves in turns, climbs, etc., and also watch how the VSI lags by as much as a couple of seconds in a climb or descent.
