A significant fraction of the human factors theory was focussed on just that message. Ignore your senses, they are out to deceive you, trust your instruments. In this case, I am looking for a means of practicing use of instruments, with a realistic enough simulation to emulate real world instruments and external navaids, but no need to expend vast compute resources on a complete realistic environment.
I had a look at RANT - looks interesting, perhaps a bit too barebones? But no mention of hardware requirements which I take to mean that it is not very demanding.
