Is Vatsim addon good for real life practice?

Does it connect to msfs in that I can tune the radio in whichever plane I’m using and it communicates the radios back to the xpilot application? Or do I have to tune it in the separate application? Still awaiting on their moderators to approve my account. I easily got every question right on their test without reading through their rules because I’m familiar with FAR/AIM rules and regs.
