You have brought back to me memories from 30+ years ago, playing Microsoft flight simulator, trying to triangulate my position using VOR beacons as quickly as possible before my aircraft had moved so far on that I was no longer anywhere near my triangulated position, hah!

I never appreciated how realistic FS was until I started studying for the navigation part of my PPL. I flew a 172 too so the instruments felt very similar.
