I worked with a flight simulator a bit at McDonell Douglas in St. Louis a few
years ago.  I think simulators for aircraft in production are very accurate
since the simulation can be tuned to match the actual performance.  Some
prospective customers were brought in to fly the simulator to get a feel for
what the plane can do with no risk involved.  The simulator can even give
a feel for g-forces by using a rigged g-suit to increase pressure (say around
the chest) and decrease it (around the legs) during a dive, and black out
the HUD when you would lose vision at 6-7 g's.
