Yes, but i use X-Plane to practice emergency procedures and touch up on IFR stuff and it is a whole lot less expensive.

It is also fun to build stuff and try it out, especially with the kids involved. You would not want to fly some of their designs in non-virtual reality.

I use a Track-IR 5 and it works great, especially in the flight combat sims. YMMV.

I also have all CH products so I can have full programability of the controls. I had the old Thrustmaster HOTAS but their Thrustmapper software deosn't work in Win 7 or newer so that went to my daughter.
