Taking into account today's state of the are visual systems, you are
more than right.
I would like to add that visual is mostly contributing to low frequency
cues (read: attitude, turns, ...), while motion platform mostly
contributes to high frequency sensations (read: inertial loads,
vibrations, ....) That's why many pilots (especially acrobat ones)
stated that simulators aren't realistic -> "the feeling on the butt was
not right" :)

also agree :)
