Can Microsoft Flight Simulator help me learn to fly (or make me a better pilot)?
Summary: Microsoft Flight Simulator can help users learn to fly and become better pilots by providing realistic flight lessons and scenarios. It is particularly useful for instrument training and practicing procedures. However, it cannot fully replicate the emotional and physical aspects of real-life flying. While it can teach users how to operate the aircraft and follow procedures, it cannot develop the situational awareness and decision-making skills required to be a good pilot.
