Why does this happen when I try a softer landing?
MSFS also has a built in recorder which is enabled from the experimental settings. But that is tedious to use the last time I tried it. You can also try Sky Dolly. https://github.com/till213/SkyDolly

Nasty landing at Midway (VR passenger view)
I used SkyDolly to record. It works pretty well.

Question on the clarification and recommendations for: Learning resources, regional differences and simulators?
For a sim, I prefer MSF2020 because of the real world scenery. As a VFR pilot, I can fly at my local airport and see the same home depot building where I make my base turn in real life. I have a a high end system (5900X, KP 3090) and use a Reverb G2. You can also hook in Garmin Pilot or Foreflight into either sim and use it as you would in the plane: https://github.com/astenlund/fs2ff/releases/tag/v0.1.13. While the sim helps in some areas can hurt a little in others. I had reinforced some bad habits by sim flying that I'm still trying to break in real flying.

Nothing more terrifying than not seeing the runway until 200ft...
Foreflight is easy to get working. There are a couple options but I use this one because it also shows the sim traffic: https://github.com/astenlund/fs2ff

I sat on the runway at KVNY for an hour, forcing Live Traffic aircraft to go around and then circle endlessly

Is there an add on where you can control or view the flight when you're away from your PC? Such as on a tablet or smartphone?
I use Airmatre connected via FS2FF

Connecting Msfs 2020 To Garmin Pilot
FYI out of all of the apps I tried FS2FF works (https://github.com/astenlund/fs2ff). Strange that it (Garmin Pilot) likes some and not others.

Recommend an app to practice instrument approaches?
You can do that with MSFS 2020 as well you just need to run another app on the side. I use fs2ff
What are some alternatives?
When comparing SkyDolly and fs2ff you can also consider the following projects:
msfs2020-gopilot - Just another browser-based VFR map for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS2020) using Golang
msfs-mod-manager - An external mod manager for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator
yourcontrols - Shared cockpit for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
msfs2fltplan - Connects MSFS 2020 to the mobile FltPlan Go app
MSFSTouchPortalPlugin - The goal of this repository is to create a connection between Touch Portal and MSFS through SimConnect in order to allow users to create buttons to control or view data for your aircraft. While this is for MSFS, in theory it could be used with other SimConnect compatible games.
