Default RE: First Flight

I have another question/problem? In the simulator, I rarely, if ever, use the rudder. The only time I use it is during landings when there are heavy gusts (15-25 mph) perpendicular to the runway. I know this is wrong, somehow, but I honestly can't really see any occasion to use the rudder other than landing in heavy winds. I rely almost entirly on the ailerons and the elevator. Can someone tell me how I should be using the rudder so my instructor won't have to waste his/her time by giving me the basics of flight? Thanks.
