For every Saab that comes on the line, they need 12 pilots...so to ge fired, you really need to screw something up.

Hey Man don't get frustrated, keep working on those profiles, profiles, profiles. Keep working on those memory items as well. Sit across a wall and trow a ball with each hand while citing the profiles. Spend your entire day working on those profiles. We have all been there, it takes a bit to get used to it. I had 1300 TT when I went into the ATR sim and I got my @$$ kicked the first few lessons but once I got the hang of flying the airplane and dealing with the profiles, memory items, checklist and dealing with scenarios it was actually a blast when we started doing V1 cuts and single engine go arounds.

I think when the engine fire came I was like what the heck out loud. Probably quite comical for somebody to watch all the hands going everywhere the pure panic of 2 newbs trying to recite memory items run a QRH. When we broke out of the clouds to land engine out I let out a small sigh of relief then realized I'm 6000ft high how do I get this darn thing down. My legs were shaking when I stepped out of sim. Looking back maybe it was fun but I was done afterwards and ready for bed.
And how to bring it down, well bring the power lever back to FI (you won't blow a cylinder head I promise or shock cool the engine) and bring the Condition lever (or whatever it's called on the 1900) forward and use the speed brakes!!!

The biggest surprise was the amount of yaw on the engine failure. The other eye opener was the amount of drag from an unfeathered prop. I knew it would be significant, but I just didn't expect it to be so much; it's unlike any piston twin I've flown!

Unless it's banned in the AFM (it's not in the Dash, and I've done it once in an empty plane).
