A really simple bit of software is RANT (I think it stands for Radio and Navaids Tutor) and is very good for setting up the navaids and flying the actual routes you will do doing your training. Helped me, Joe.
PS. You will want to set fire to the simulator every time you 'fly' it as it feels very alien, but remember you are learning to fly the procedures NOT the simulator (although this will be of little comfort!).
