I have been playing with FS2004 lately. I have the yoke and rudder pedals,
and 2 monitors (the one on my left is for my base to final leg and I must
say the realism is incredible. All phases of flying are very, very
realistic to me.

That's good to know. (The lefthand monitor -- that's a hoot! Great
idea.)

I tried it once when I was learning to fly. The model for the J-3 was
all but unflyable, and of course I couldn't see anything to either
side, so that was ridiculous. But even the landscape was unreal. It
was full of landmarks I'd never seen, in the form of cell-phone
towers, and the landmarks I actually depended on (Hampton water tower,
North Hampton tennis court) were altogether absent.

(I'm looking to my left and wondering if I could put a monitor there
