I've never understood the benefit of doing an IPC with the simulator
devices. The approved simulators are almost as expensive as a C-150
rental and require an instructor. It always seemed to me to be less
expensive to get a pilot friend to fly with you and wear the hood in a
C-150. Of course since I've never used such simulators I'm just
guessing.

You can try many many different scenarios and simulated equipment
failures in the sim, and reset much quicker.

Of course, it's nowhere as much fun as flying.
