You’ve asked for advice multiple times from airline pilots and had replies from folks who have flown or are currently flying the aircraft you mention. Some of us have done multiple type ratings and also instructed.
Believe me when I say you’ll be a LOT better of proceeding as we’ve suggested - you won’t be creating false mental models and developing bad habits (the FCTM and QRH instructions are well worth a read too now I think of it). Do the mode reversions work on a sim model the same as the real thing? Are the thrust and pitch datums the same? How will you learn scan flows effectively? If you learn all the ground school and manual material before getting to the sim you will have so much extra capacity you’ll be able to fly and train much more effectively, far more so than if you’ve been mucking around on X plane.
Then again, maybe I am showing my age 😅.
