Using Flight Simulator for Flight Training?

The OP also started this thread a few days back. Evidently they have an issue with anyone suggesting MSFS is anything more than a game.

As others have said here, MSFS is a tool. It isn’t a certified sim, but there are things to learn from using it. I will be starting my own flight training in a month or two. I fully intend to use MSFS to practice some of my training (with the agreement of my flight instructor), whether that’s practicing my radio work on PilotEdge, practicing my navigation for cross country flights, or practicing procedures/checklists. I don’t expect to use it for any stick and rudder practice, but there’s a lot more to flying than just stick and rudder… Especially when you’re doing it in busy, complex airspaces. In the immortal words of Mr. Miyagi: Wax on, wax off.
