I used Microsoft flight simulator. It helped a lot for me. It got me used to using autopilot and gave me a good scan on glass. I bought a payware plane from here

It also can produce bad habits so be very open when your start training. Use the fms and track vors inbound/outbound using the autopilot. The plane above is very realistic. Hope this helps!
