So anything that's simulating IFR will do, they type of aircraft is really irrelevant. More than likely the sim on your interview won't be what the company flies anyway. Good luck with your interviews!
I agree but disagree at the same time. If you know your doing your ride in an a/c sim like the CR2 then getting some time reading glass will help immensely. Especially the sky pointer, that usually flips most around for a while. Yes the FLT characteristics won’t be exact but it’s all about getting comfortable with what you’re looking at; for this MSFS will work just fine.
