After the UVP-E don't worry

OLG !

I see,that you are currently on the L-410... I have flown both the L-410 and the 737 Classic/NG series, here is my advice:
The two aircraft are very similar as far as handling characteristics, and looking back on the L-410, that thing needed a lot more effort to keep it going... So don't sweat it.
The above post by Empty Crz is very useful: On the Navigational display (ND) if you have APP selected on it, just put the white line (track line) over the CDI and you can't go wrong (ignore the Heading from there after), all you have to worry about now is the glide slope and the airspeed. Use 55% N1 with flaps 30 and on target speed: Vref +5 (or other wind additive) while established on the glide and your speed will be very close to the cursor. Remember to make small changes ! For take-off :
at Vr start rotating at about 3 deg/sec to 15-18 deg of pitch, to accelerate for flap retraction use 10 deg, and keep this 10 deg of pitch for a climb at 250 kt also! Level flight at 250 kt at 5 deg ! remember: PITCH and POWER ! Oh, yeah, if you use the sim in BUD, I've flown it it's a little less responsive than the aircraft, but that'll do you a favor after flying the L-410! Good luck !
