You can see this as someone is firing on you from your six -- all the streams just fly by straight ahead -- no matter the distance.

Theres definitely convergence on Sim, try shooting targets from 500yds and you won't get very effective hits. It will become obvious when you compare the effect of shooting close and far away and its not just your aim. Also see the thread linked a few posts above.
