Acceleration is one of the biggest parts of simulators that just can't match reality. We can fake most of the visual aspects of speed and acceleration, but the pressure one feels over the body, including the signals we get from our inner ear, is missing. Top simulators can do all kinds of shakes and vibrations. They can angle the body to simulate a dive or climb but acceleration seems to be one of those things that if we are ever going to be able to simulate, will be orders of magnitude more difficult than most everything else. Even smell and taste, minor senses in transportation simulations, can be stimulated for limited situations. We might have to wait until we're able to tap into the brain directly for simulated acceleration to happen.
