No, you wouldn't. Although for educational purposes, it can be useful, the three dimensional feeling, and completely different power and handling scenarios as well as the way the feel of speed is programmed in the sim amongst a host of other things, means you'd find it impossible. Interestingly, it seems that professional pilots find it difficult to fly the sim without crashing which suggests it's more to do with a separate skill to real world aviation.
