VR in MSFS2024 is heaven for instrument flight practice

I probably said this quite a few times before but I couldn't help to say it again: what a heaven it is to practice instrument flight in 2024 VR! 

I got my instrument rating seven months ago but had been too busy to practice IRL - my IFR currency actually ran out last month. This weekend I took advantage of the real sh**ty weather in my area and did a few instrument flights with live weather. It just wowed me again how unbelievable the VR experience in 2024 is as compared to my real instrument flights. I was flying into thick clouds, practicing holds and turns in the soup, descending through rains and fogs, seeing the runway "environment" right at LPV minimum. Almost every bit as IRL.   

For anyone flying instrument in 2024 VR, just know that, seriously, you truly get >90% of real flight experience in your armchair (provided you did the actual flying right). For anyone wants to learn instrument flight IRL, spending money on a good MSFS setup is no brainer. Since last year I practiced way more than 100 hours instrument flights in 2024 VR. My club charge ~$150/hour wet for 172 and Archer -- at this rate I earned back all the money I spent on my flight sim setup, at least twice.
