For your IR course.
It is either RANT (excellent) or Luiz Monteiro.
MS FlightSim - did not help and you will waste time tbh.
With RANT and Luiz Monteiro software you will understand the raw data and get your head around the basics without faffing around trying to fly the aircraft.
My experience was that once you have nailed the concepts and know what the needles are doing and what they tell you. You will have additional capacity to then concentrate and build on handling and fitting in all the procedures etc....
Using RANT and practising will in turn save additional IR hours and loads of cash......
Best of Luck
