Absolutely! What has been developed for the sim is wonderful and
accurate. Some add on aircraft are real beyond belief. I'm flying an
F86 Sabre right now in FS2004 that is real enough that I could
actually use it as a tool to help check out a pilot in the aircraft.
Take a look at this Sabre if you like.

I believe there are add on Cessna 182's that the group might know
about that are excellent as well.
BY all means use the sim. It's a great program.
Sorry to hear about your medical. You and I share this together as I
am no longer flying for the same reason.
Best to you,

Dudley, I would really like to hear your impression about Carenado
aircraft. I currently own and fly their C182RG for FS9, being told it
was quite realistic. I have never flown a real aircraft... yet.

I've never evaluated their aircraft as much of the work I've done for
add on devs deals with military fighters. I can say that their art
work is extremely well done and very realistic. Their Cessna 152 is
practically a photograph quality of the actual cockpit.
I would assume their flight models are well done.
Not much to go on I'm afraid. Wish I could be of more help. I know
there are folks on the forum who have their products installed. I'm
sure if you post on this issue specifically you will get a ton of
useful information.
Best,
