The simulator that came with the original PTS was absolutely ABYSMAL.

Be GLAD you lost the CD, it's THAT bad.

The PTS is a decent enough beginners plane PROVIDED you have an experienced instructor teach you to fly it with a buddy box.

It is not a plane for a "go it alone" novice.

Wait until you find a club and get help tuning and assembling the plane.

Even though it is a simple build, a few things need a bit of attention, e.g. strengthening the gear blocks, etc.
