Just fly the approaches on flight sim with the autopilot and do it over and over again, that way u will have good situational awareness and will memorise altitudes. You can click on the 2 primary instrument displays to make them bigger, then drag the corner of each to the sze u prefer.
Come on guys and girls, show us what you have got, raw data. Either you got what it takes or you don't. This method will not cut the mustard in the long term.
Sure, put some thought into the sim prior to your ride but don't overdo it. One small variable during the sim session can change the 'predicted 'outcome, seen it happen many times.
When your in the real world and its hitting the fan, God forbid you haven't practiced a hundred times on trusty computer it will show. Consider being called in on sim reserve with no preparation to support one of your fellow pilots with no notice and you cant pull it out of the bag on the day, you get a bad record real quick and screw the guy sitting in the other seat.

Nobody likes that.

I understand its all new to you, but really...

If your not ready to fly the sim, with no notice at any time, think again.

Sorry don't cut it.
