PPL and Flight Sim

Advice from the experienced please!!!

I started my PPL training recently. Having spent many years on MS Flight Simulator (2004) I decided it was time to do this for real. I quickly learned that I had developed some really bad habits over the years on my PC. My instructor reckons that PC based simulators are good for instrument training but don't give enough feedback to be of any real benefit when flying by the seat of your pants.

I have therefore decided to stay away from the Cessna 172 on my PC and stick to flying jets purely for fun.
Does anybody have any opinion on this, can Flight Sims add anything to the PPL Students training needs?
