The only way to fly IFR or VFRfor hat matter is in an airplane. You are
simulating IFR, you are not by the longest stretch of the imagination flying
IFR.

The I in IFR stands for instruments. You fly just by reading
instruments. In fact, using a simulator that has no motion or scenery
is a good test for IFR flight; if you can't fly without feeling
movement or looking out the window, you don't know how to fly IFR.

The deficiencies of most popular simulation programs are in their lack
of "feel," and to a lesser extent in many of the compromises made for
practical and other reasons. However, instrument flight is something
that MSFS does particularly well.
