I’m an instrument rated private pilot.

The things I like about flight simulator:

- it’s great for checking out an unfamiliar area you’re flying to

- you can connect ForeFlight to it, so you can use your digital charts / EFB in the same way you would in the cockpit

- you can get really good IFR approach practice in

- with head tracking (or vr), VFR flight is pretty accurate to the real thing
