FS2004 is good fun.

As a VMC pilot only I can do things that I couldn't do for real, like try an IMC approach and landing.

For the hands on handling (no pun intended) I can go out and hire a spam can.
But everybody will agree that handling alone is not the hardest part. Multitasking and high workload are the difficult aspects of flying for me, and some of it is reproduced quite well in MSFS.

A 29 quid software won't be able to give you the same handling of a multi million full motion sim, will it ?
But then again you wouldn't expect to learn to drive a car on one of those Daytona arcade things ?

Still - they can be more fun than sitting on the M25 in a REAL car !
