Default Night VFR Simulator

I mentioned in my Intro thread that I'm red/green color blind and have a restriction against night flight on my medical. It's not going to go away. I've had most of the color vision tests and flunked them all, and the opinion of the eye docs I've talked to is that I have the severe form of red/green.

I want to become a CFI one day--a CFI who doesn't fly at night. I've talked to a couple of local flight schools and they've said they'd have no problem hiring a CFI who can't teach the night portion of the PPL. So there's a market.

The problem is that, in order to become a CFI you first have to get the Commercial ticket, and the Comm requires 5 hours of solo night flight. Well, I'm prohibited from flying solo at night.

You can, however, log 50 of the 250 total hours you need for a Comm in a simulator or training device. So does anyone know of an available sim that does night VFR that won't cost thousands of dollars to rent?
