Consumer sims - any use?

When I first started flying I tried reinforcing lessons with X-plane and found it worse than useless. I think it actually damaged my learning because its behaviour was so different from reality, so I binned it. It was running on a not ideal system and was sluggish and unrealistic.

Now that I (sort of) know how to handle an aircraft, I wondered about revisiting a sim to work on instrument flying, use of VORs, NDBs, ILS etc.

Does anyone have any experience or comments on this ?
