I addressed this is another post. I find myself making similar mistakes in
MSFS as I do in real flight. I think it is great practice to concentrate on
reducing this tendency while simming.

I'm not saying that simming is the same as real flight in all respects. But
I stand by my assessment that for the most part, it's harder to fly in MSFS
than in my very simple and easy to fly Sundowner (even when I use the
Sundowner flight model on MSFS).

Well I disagree. I found that MSFS gave me terrible habits that my
instructors had to beat out of me (j/k). Fixation on instruments was
the main one.

Can you tell me from flying MSFS what it is like to control an aircraft
that is at MAUW and is loaded aft of the C of G? While the aircrafts
behaviour might be able to be simulated well, you have no idea of the
strength required to hold it straight and level, or the thousand
thoughts going through your head as your instructor asks you to perform
a wingdrop stall in that configuration. You have a lot more to lose at
3500 feet AGL than sitting at a PC.
