Physical effects such as g-force cannot be experienced in simulation but during real flights. The same thing happens when going upstairs or downstairs in an elevator, body weight slightly changes and the brain informs me when the change is sudden during acceleration and deceleration. This is because the lift force pushes the body and causes it a bit more and less weight than usual. Some people might be more sensitive to g-force than others. And this signal can be used as a method to detect vertical speed (VS) changes in a real flight.
