Default Do sim pilots log their time?

Very true. In fact, the only sim that is FAA approved and can
be logged is X-Plane, IIRC. Details about that are at
http://www.x-plane.com/FTD.html .

So for MSFS, It's just something for the sim world. Throw
X-Plane in a full motion simulator and you can use that for getting
your instrument rating, commercial cert, or air transport pilot cert.
