This isn't entirely true.  If you are using a simple propeller fan then yes,
you probably aren't going to duplicate actual radiator airflow.  However a
centrifugal fan with a wide enough opening should be capable of delivering
pretty similar to real-world airflow at speed.  An ingenious person might
even be able to build a fan, or modify an existing one, to provide the
appropriate speed of airflow based on the vehicle's estimated speed from the
drive wheels, but that's fancy schmancy now, isn't it? :)
