I think this is especially true for the dashboard. This is probably the best thing about the software. There are some things that the G300 on the simulator does not do, which you can do with the real thing. Nevertheless, it does help familiarize you with procedures. I remember doing a 30 min flight with my CFI and we were programming the GPS. He was having some difficulties figuring out something, I help as I knew exactly what to do, having learned it in the sim software.
