The sim wasn't bad. I've never flown with an FD and it was pretty simple. The sim guy is great at briefing you. Just use him for everything! They want to see basic instrument proficiency and CRM. I spent an hour on a G1000 sim but it really wasn't necessary, the guy sets all the radios and courses for you, just ask. He'll even turn you with the heading bug when in FD mode. The sim flew pretty stable, the trim worked well but you don't need to touch it too much.
