For it to be worthwhile you would want to have a set of CHProducts pedals, a throttle quadrant, and a joystick. Without rudder pedals it's useless for practicing crosswinds.

This points up a key thing about landing in a flight sim, you can't see very well. Switch to "chase" view so you can see what your airplane is doing. Even though there are no g forces, no control response, and not much sound the flight model is valid in regard to wind and overall aircraft behavior.
