Default Realistic Instrument Training using MSFS 2004

If you can fly that well on instruments with MSFS, then I
congratulate you!

Just a question of practice and/or logic.

I now understand why you think controlling an
aircraft by instruments is no different than in VMC.

You don't control an aircraft by instruments. You control an aircraft with
flight controls, such as the rudder and yoke. They work in exactly the same
way in both VMC and IMC.

Instruments provide you with information. They do not control the aircraft,
except on autopilot. And the autopilot works the same in both IMC and VMC.

It isn't that easy for me. I find it much harder, especially when
distracted by looking up and studying procedures, and radio work.
Maybe with enough practice it will also become second nature to me.

You're confusing situational awareness and the gathering of information about
it with the actual act of controlling the aircraft.
