Start off with this it will get you ready to push back from the gate: (assume all your FTD and sim sessions are FFOD)

showing up to a cold dark cockpit need to do the following to get the aircraft powered up:
CFM 3-25 Interior inspection*
CFM 4-13 *Electrical power up (apu or ground power) (dont forget to read notes about apu fire check and battery level to start)
CFM 3-27 Exterior inspection (might not need for sim bus still part of procedure)

once those are done need to check certain things on your side of the cockpit:
CFM 3-41 CA preflight (not really necessary but CA has certain things to check)
CFM 3-44 FO preflight

then, depending who is PM or PF you have a few more things to do:
CFM 3-32 PF procedure (pretty much programming FMS)
CFM 3-35 PM procedure (where all the FFOD are and configuring the panel) (most of the FFOD proceudres are in chapter 4)

after all that is done do the (CFM 7-11) clearance verification and (FOM 8-67) departure brief (WARTS).

for the FTD not too many emergency procedures will be introduced but you should be able to go from a cold-dark cockpit, takeoff, cruise, shoot an ils, taxi to the gate, and shut down. once you can do that you will be fine in the FTD. its been a while but i believe the first FTD lesson was just from powerup to takeoff. every lesson becomes further and further into a flight till at the last FTD lesson its an entire flight.

i agree everything is all over the place but you have to dig for it.

A couple of other things that are annoying:
