The one unrealistic feature of modern flight sims.

The sounds. I don't hear this type of sound... You can tell the sim sound is indeed based on reality, but the full fidelity never seems complete to me.

External sounds are weak in many flight sims.  I'm guessing it is hard to reproduce the Doppler effect in a consumer grade sim.

Depends on your sound system really. A big part of the problem is, many people have some sort of 'super-duper bass-enhancing' gamer sound system on their PC because they think it sounds 'awesome', but if a sound engineer knows what he or she is doing, they'll mix the sounds on a game or a sim or a song or whatever, to average at around -12dB and sound good on either studio monitor speakers, or monitor headphones, so that's what you should listen to it on. That's why everyone would be better off using monitor speakers or cans; it's why I always do. It's also why loads of bands get their demo tracks rejected when they send them to producers and A&R people; they mix them using their super-duper enhancing headphones and their mix sounds good on those, but the end user will not have a set of those headphones which made it sound good, they will be listening to it on monitor speakers and it'll sound absolutely cack on those because it wasn't mixed with a suitable response to suit being heard on studio gear with a proper neutral envelope.
