Flight sim experience helps. But there are some negative habits that can be developed in sims.
I would say an experienced sim pilot is perhaps the equivalent of 10-15 flying hours ahead of a non sim pilot on day one of training.
It's nice when sim pilots come in with an understanding of the instruments and parts of the plane etc.
