Contrary to a previous comment, they are very upfront with the amount of hours you fly and I believe it is still 163 hours. I think total actual flight time is about 140 hours with the rest in the DA42 sims both in New Zealand and Bournemouth. (For the Wings course).

The sims are incredibly helpful and quite similar to the real aircraft. It's a huge step up going straight into IFR sim sessions after finishing your VFR flying - although great fun! They also have a Part Task Trainer which has the full G1000 suite that you're allowed to go and practise with which is helpful, and plenty of Garmin trainers on the PC's.
