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
ForeFlight, connected to FS2020 via https://github.com/astenlund/fs2ff

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

Falcon BMS 4.37 Release Hype
Hey friend, since 4.36 BMS supports DX128 input (which means, up to 128 inputs per device) as a undocumented change - it's a optional flag that Alternate Launcher (see patch note: https://github.com/chihirobelmo/FalconBMS-Alternative-Launcher/releases/tag/v2.1.1) should automatically tick but if it doesn't adding "set g_nButtonsPerDevice 128" in "Falcon BMS 4.36\User\Config\falcon bms.cfg" should allow you to bind everything as well.
