No good for the scenario you describe.

I respectfully *strongly* disagree; a PC sim is great for instrument

helpful. I set it up with a faster, slipperier plane than I was actually
flying, and it helped greatly on things such as instrument scan,
procedures, partial panel etc.

the OP as asking about the sim in direct comparison to the physical
action/ reaction of the real airplane which of course the sim cannot
duplicate in any way.

There has been a fair amount of research done which supports Dudley's
statement. Some of the recently published papers can found he
