It's funny the first thing I thought in my mind was "right rudder, more right rudder!". That's the first big difference I remembered. The plane reacts to torque with incredible quickness. Then you realize that the air is not the calm environment you imagined and is actually a sea of air with "waves" coming from any direction. I'd say x-plane comes the closest to simulating this rapidly changing environment. You really have to be on your toes.
