A VA is not what you want now. Most VAs are automated to the point of very little human interaction.
What plane are you flying now?
Take the C172 and learn to fly a pattern - really well.
Learn to set it down at a specific place on the runway.
In real life you learned to crawl, stand up and walk, then run.
Same thing in flightsim.
What kind of VA flying are you wanting to do?
Small planes or tubeliners.
I recommend Walker Air Transport. You can fly small planes, bizjets and move up into the A320 or B737 and others.

Under their express division they allow you to fly the C172.
For now keep practicing, fly lots of patterns both left & right, watch lots of YT vids, etc.
