Thanks in advance
You would be better served by spending time on theory and really getting to grips with it (not just doing enough to pass the exams). I'm not implying that would be your approach but really understanding the theory does help with the practical stuff too.
Students that have spent a lot of time on PC simulators tend to be fixated on the instruments and it takes a long time to break the habit so I discourage it for my students. PC sims are great for radio nav practice but that is quite a way into the syllabus.
