Flight Simulator... Yes it can help teach the basics. But will not aid in controlling the aircraft so much. Lets say if you hop in a Cessna 172 you can learn the basics. But when you hop in the A320 that's where it gets tricky. As someone previously stated: "That said, they cannot mimic the number of controls found in actual aircraft (which are not flown with a joystick :) )" Hes incorrect the aircraft i fly an Airbus A319-132 is flown with a joystick although it has totally different characteristics of your Microsoft joystick. But overall yes. Flight Simulator can help you in the long run. Maybe not to point of landing as smoothly as someone like myself in a real aircraft. But yes i would practice with it. Because well not many people have access to a 73.5 million dollar plane like i do.


Using any decent flight simulator, including Microsoft Flight Simulator, can give you a head start on theory and techniques for flying. There's a slight risk of developing a few bad habits, due to the differences between a simulator and real life, but you're still far ahead of where you would be if you had nothing at all.

Once you begin taking flying lessons in a real aircraft, simulator practice becomes less important, but you can still use simulators to practice various things (especially instrument flight) even when taking lessons for real. A key advantage to simulation is that it's very cheap, so if you can't afford to take lessons in a real aircraft eight hours a day, perhaps you can settle for a few hours in the real thing per week, and lots of extra hours in the simulator.

Simulators vary in their accuracy, but for ordinary flight regimes in ordinary aircraft, they can be useful for improving one's understanding of flight principles. Used with books and with real-world instruction in real airplanes with flight instructors, I don't see how simulation could possibly do anything but help.

The answer is a technical yes. Flight simulators are great tools for understanding the use of various indicators and the basic concepts of piloting. That said, they cannot mimic the number of controls found in actual aircraft (which are not flown with a joystick :) ) - there is also no tactile feedback.

Consider them a part of your training arsenal, but only in the beginning. Once you get in the air, I would stop using them.
