I give up, after many, many years!

I orient myself visually, either looking out the window or looking
at the instruments. I navigate visually. But I FLY by feel.
I do as well, especially the last 6 inches of flight on landing :-)
Touch of power just to feel it in the seat of my pants so wheels
gently meet terra firma. That touch of power, while not noticeable to
the passenger shows up vividly on my videos by watching the strobing
of the prop in my flare. Invariably, you will see it reverse
direction as I treat the last few inches over the runway.
Same for ILS, slip below glide slope, add just enough power to feel it
in my britches to "drive it" back to glide slope.
No sim will ever be able to simulate the finer points of flying as it
takes sensation even in solid IMC. In my case, the instrument is
confirming what I feel by the recapture of a glide slope.
