Instructors want to see you do exactly what and how they showed you to fly. They need to trust you to do nothing else. They will send you on solo flights when you are still a student looking for you and the aircraft and weather before.
The easiest way for you would be to forget the sim and honestly start from scratch at a school. When you are a newbie ATPL pilot later on and finally go to some airline sim check for a job they will tell you how THEY want it and then they want to see you do it their way. This might even vary between instructors. Be ready to just follow. It is a long way but it is fun too. Don't think you know anything better because of the sim. That was a game only.
