List the relevant differences in the context of this discussion.


Real airplanes roll (sooner or later) if you take your hand off the yoke.

What difference does that make?


A great deal, especially since you seem to underestimate them.

If I am unqualified to speak of real flight because I don't have some
arbitrary number of hours of experience as a real pilot, what
qualifies you to speak of simulation if you don't have some equally
arbitrary number of hours working with simulators?


I have a reliable source of information about sims: you. You told me
that your simulated plane does something that I know from personal
experience real planes don't do. I don't have to have any experience
with sims to know that there are only two possibilities: either your
simulator is not realistic or you are lying. I have no reason to
believe you are lying.
