You're not missing anything, some people are sim people, some are not. I'm the same way, been flying for many years, started at the regionals, now I fly for a fractional.... Every job I've had I feel like I just got by through training, specially the simulator part, and I study A LOT, but then I hit the line and every captain compliments me on a "job well done".
Never had a problem flying the line, but usually struggle in the torture chamber (sim). Sounds like you're the same way, its just the way it is.
