I think ELMS makes a valid point in that it’s dangerous to assume everybody around the world (or even Europe) has a flight deck access policy that is a clone of that enacted by the UK or the USA..
To ELMS:
With my ex-777 hat on (I had a few thousands hours on the machine) I’ve yet to see any PC based sim that accurately replicates the handling…..switches, etc may well all be roughly in the right place, yes you can run checklists, but there’s a lot left missing that simply can’t be replicated at home. Even a very expensive fixed base trainer as used at times in some training establishments don’t really cut it…as somebody mentioned upthread when flying there are some subtle cues/effects provided by motion (real or simulated) that cannot be replicated in something stuck to the floor or desk.
With my ex instructor (basic jet) hat on I can see you have been offered, for free, lots of good advice from many previous posters. Above all early day’s it’s all about attitude, in more ways than one…
