I've always found this to be the case, even the couple of times I had the opportunity to fly a full motion SIM. I've flown a couple Redbird sims for the C172 as well as the L1011 simulator at Delta Air Lines. The depth perception isn't the same and there is zero input other than visual. Even with the added motion, it was more of an "amusement park" motion feel then the real thing.

The spanning may be good enough, if there is no distortion, will try it first chance. Past SIMs used only one camera so there was 3D distortion on the left and right. With multiwindow you get multi-camera so when you turn your head it looks right.
