I found Microsoft Flight Simulator good for VOR tracking training. There is an option to view the radial you are tracking as "boxes in the sky" to help you get an idea of where you should be.
Also found you need to increase the sensitivity of the controls so much to make it realistic in straight and level flight that it makes it impossible to hover.
The "fear" factor that some new students have is also difficult to simulate on a PC!
