ORIGINAL: MChronicleSword

or in other words prepare me to fly non-trainers

FMS to be exact. that is the only flight sim i have, i have the USB transmitter for it and i dont want to buy another flight sim or a trainer. not up to spending the money
Don't want to buy a trainer ? Are you suggesting that you want to skip the trainer and go straight to more advanced airplanes ?

If thats what you mean, it doesn't work. All the sim time in the world won't do that for you. Sims help. But sims can't substitute flying a trainer.

Trainers are cheap ! And if you are lucky, someone at the local field might just give you one. Where do old trainers go ? Sometimes to lucky newbies.

Food is expensive. Gas is expensive. Everything is expensive. But airplanes are an absolute essential !!! Just do what ever it takes to get an airplane. You won't regret it.
