Incorrect statement. Learning to fly on instruments also entails
learning to firmly shut out the "seat of the pants" sensations. The
"seat of the pants" sensations are not there when flying a desktop
computer so its incorrect to say that instrument flying can be
"accurately simulated" on a desktop.

This only makes a difference if you are conditioned to interpret physical
sensations in certain ways.

Only when you fly a real airplane
on instruments can you fully learn to ignore the often contradicatory
sensory input from the movements of the airplane.

It might help to start with instrument flight and then continue with visual
flight, instead of the other way around. Of course, that might make VFR
skills more difficult to acquire.
