Using flight simulators for pc,even pro software like msf9\x or x-plane can only enhance your navigational skills to a certain limit.
dynamics in reality and in desktop sims are different,and are difficult to reproduce.
Microsoft flight simulators alone isnt really interesting.If you want some good experience and nice realism,you should buy some add-on aircrafts such as level-d 767 ( with 98% full working system,fmc,hydraulics exactly as on the real aircraft,iris,electrics,nav,AP).
Or even the ATR-72 (i recommend this one)from flight one,developed in collaboration with the real ATR company in toulouse.
they arent that expensive if you consider having nice moments
