I suspect the flight games throw in a few more unexpected incidents,
malfunctions, etc... to make the games more interesting.

Well, it would be nice if there were a dial to change this. You can
reduce the amount of activity with other aircraft in MSFS, but you
can't control exactly how that activity is conducted.

Indeed, it would be nice to be able to select different airport
activity scenarios for practice. The specificity of instructional
activity that you mention is one example. A simulation of Oshkosh
might be interesting. And of course accurate simulations of extremely
busy, large airports--and tiny fields with incompetent local pilots
doing foolish things, perhaps.
