No news about the sim, will keep you updated.
About the MIC I will copy and paste what I have just replied to another guy asking via PM.
I can honestly tell you that you will have PLENTY of time to exercise the MIC the day of the DLR... they will give you almost one hour to practice, beginning form a single task, up to the complete simulated test: the actual test will take no more than 5/10 minutes.
Believe me when I say that it is more than enough, there is no point in prepare now. Some people bought the Skytest software: use your money for something better, like a couple of good beers the evening before the test. As I said the time they give for preparation and explanation is really long.
The only problem is that you will do that as the last test after 6/7 hours of stress: that is the difficult part, but I am afraid there is not much you can do about it.
Just try to stay relaxed.
To answer your question...
No, I found the test easy, and the same the other guys.
The flight is really unstable.
Think of the most sluggish joystick you can have. Done? ok, it's even more sluggish.
No.
And for the future, to everyone... please don't use PM, at least I don't have to write the same things 200 times. Thanks.
Bye
