Simulators will always be simulators, not reproducers of vehicle performance
During my career, I have spent a considerable amount of time operating a vehicle in a hexapod-supported driving simulator with extensive lateral motion capability. The performance of this particular simulator was astounding. The 360° visuals with no perceived latency and the operative vehicle inside the pod with a fully functioning dash came close to reproducing a true experience.
One improvement made during this time was an audio simulation refinement that enabled the noise signature of each tire to be individually simulated from the proper quadrant within the car instead of giving general tire noise feedback.
