https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulator_sickness

No simulator can recreate the forces experienced in a real plane exactly, and it can be very disorienting and nauseating. As a simple example, consider a plane accelerating down the runway for takeoff --- that feeling of thrust that pushes you back into the seat can't be simulated. I have severe motion sickness and can't do things like play FPS, simulators, or watch videos with lots of movement in my field of vision without becoming very dizzy and fatigued. VR and 3D only makes it worse. Yet I have no problems driving or riding in a real plane.
