Flight safety/simuflite didn't come into the picture until I had about a 1000hrs and only went to a recurrent as the captain will just probably do ground with you and give you your 3 landings in the bird. They're all cheap as ****** so that's the only reason guys like us got a dream shot to go do this, try not to kill yourself, get your 1500 hrs of time and get out.
