The difference between a PCATD and a Level C sim is pretty significant (even off of motion). That said, the biggest thing is your instrument scan. Whatever aircraft you are flying on the PCATD, do what you can to fly it "all out", especially if it is only a piston twin.

Also, give some thought to how you plan to implement CRM while flying the box. Remember- the sim is a two pilot aircraft. Call for checklists, speeds, engine settings, etc.

PM me your address and I'll try to dig up some old gouge that I have. (It's about a year old now, but still probably worth a look).
