There is a point where we all have to realise this it not real..
There are so many things we simmers don't have access to that real pilots had access to
Such that it would be silly to expect us to deal with every aspects of 'reality' in a 'simulation'
On the flip side, we never have to worry about a .50 cal hitting us in the neck while flying
So many things are done in software to make up for this fact.. But I would not refer to them as a bug (make up for the fact it aint real)
Take buffets for example..
In reality in some cases you would probally 'feel' it..
A buzz in your pants or the stick before you 'see' it in real life..
But since the sim can not simulate this (minus those with FFBJS)
The software inserts a screen shake and/or sound to cue the sim pilot into the fact that he is near a stall
At the same time there are so many things (like this topic) that can not be done in software.. But I woudl not refer to them as bugs either (limitations)
In short
No flight simulation ever WAS, IS, or WILL BE REAL!

Theres a reason for instrumenting a plane for test..
That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
