I think you're right it is a fair procedural trainer, i occasionally use it just to familiarise myself if i am expecting to fly a complex procedure in the next few days. It does help, particularly with a procedure you've never flown before. I would also agree that joystick etc is a waste of time for this purpose, fly it on the autopilot just for the 'experience' of flying the procedure, it won't teach you anything about how the aircraft will feel in real IMC under IFR.

I4 if you have the luxury of somethine that equates to helicopter controls and not an MS joystick then, that may be useful, but i've never tried it.

It would be nice if they've Dipped the ADF needle in the new version.
