It is really hard to say in your case. Some guys thumb their noses at G2 (simulators) because it just is not their cup-o-tea. Others are amazed by what they can do.

Can you find someone with any sim to test drive? Do you have any other sims on your computer......car, aerial combat, or the "sudder" Microsoft Flight Sim? How do you feel about them?
Can you put your "heart" into flying the sim planes as realistically as possible instead of just banging them around the computer screen and quickly becoming bored,......etc.

Training on my sims over the years have saved at least two of my models from crashing because I did not have to think about what to do to save them, it just came naturally.
