Well, as for the real thing, the previous comments are good, but if the money is not enough to go up there, I always recommend Microsoft Flight Simulator... which of course, as a "flight simulator" sucks, but you would be able to practice all the procedures. It's a bit boring, but I'm in a similar situation and it helps a lot to keep fresh the scan flow, the checklist, where to look at and what are you supposed to look next. Once a week I sit for 30min in the pc, start with the c172 "cold and dark" in the parking in my local AD, and practice the whole thing as real, even the comms with atc, I do a circuit or two, land, shutdown everything and wait to get money enough to rent the real a/c. For me, it works.
