I've been fortunate enough to see the inside of a "real" A-320 sim. One pretty cool thing they modelled in ground taxiing is that if you crank the nose wheel too far in a tight turn, it starts to bounce (perpendicularly relative to the tire, forward relative the aircraft) and it shakes the whole plane and the passengers stiffen up probably more than just a bit.
