Landing in a simulator is one thing. There's a false sense of security centered a crash where no one gets hurt. Landing in a real life situation, that security disappears, and you know you only have 1 go at making it down in 1 piece. I took off and landed countless times in FS5 and FS98 in just about all the default aircraft. Full of confidence. My first landing in a Beech Skipper in August of 1997, I nearly killed myself and the instructor. I bounced the aircraft on landing. Coming in on base and final, I was gripping that wheel so tight, the instructor had to tell me to loosen my grip at least half a dozen times. It's definitely a very different scenario.
