Completely agree with the above post.
I played flightsim a lot when I was younger and it definitely helped with the basic aspects of flying.
During my instrument training it was beneficial to be able to practice procedures and helped me get my head around how the needle swings etc.
As stated above be careful not to self teach yourself as you will pick up bad habits that may be hard to get rid of.
