However, it still is a valuable tool for practicing procedures.

No doubt, as I use it for much the same thing. My main point was to
discourage anybody thinking that learning to fly from scratch (not simply
reinforcing existing skills) by using MSFS is not the same thing as learning
in a real plane. There are just too many differences between the
platforms - not to mention that MSFS is intended primarily as entertainment.

Now, for me, entertainment is setting visibility to just above mins and
shooting a partial panel LOC back-course approach.
