CX 747-200 Sim

Just had the Sim a week ago in Hong Kong.

-T/O and track the back course beam.
-Right hand turn at 10 DME for air work.
-Steep Turns. 30, 45 and 60 degrees bank. 180 degrees in each direction.
-Accelerate to 300 kts. Then Decelerate to 220 kts. (using spoilers)
-
ILS to a go around. (Runway heading)
-Vector around for another ILS.
-#1 engine fire on downwind. (Ask for recall items. He will go through them)
-Full Stop landing. (Using asymmetric
thrust reverse)

I find the Sim is not very responsive. It lags in the turn and a reduction in power will not show on the A/S indicator until about 5 seconds. My only advice is fly the vectors for the ILS at flaps 5. When you are established inbound ask for flaps 10. Then at G/S alive and Vref+20 call Flaps 20 etc.

Cathay Pacific study guide has some good pointers near the back. Though easier said than done.

Good Luck.
