The majority of sim rides involve hand flying using raw data. That requires selection of appropriate thrust and attitude together with accurate TRIMMING. Whilst the MCC/APS is mainly flown with the automatics, there are exercises in part involving hand flying.
If you aspire to a certain airline, choose a MCC course with the same or similar simulator.
The bottom line is can you set an attitude and TRIM?
If you can, then you will succeed. If not, get practising on an appropriate simulator.
