With ample time on the sim, you'll still need to go through all of the initial stuff, however you'll progress VERY quickly...

With that in mind, join a club and see if you can use their trainer for the initial training sessions.

That will get you in the air and practicing with the real thing...

Then start looking for what may be considered a "second" plane, not a 3D one. But do this only after consulting the instructors.

One option would be something that will make the transition with you to aerobatics, such as the PTS series or other low wingers.
