No..no no!!!  Go with a real trainer before you move into anything that is low wing intermediate.  And, for your first few flights, make sure you work with an instructor on a buddy box.  </p>

The sim gives you some basic coordination but you really have to work wiht an instructor to learn some basics of flight in the real world.  The pre-flight is most important as is the emergency procedures you will learn with an instructor.  It may only take you a few flights with an instructor, but those first few are very important.</p>

After your instructor time, you spend the next few week/months flying and honing what you learned, especially flying straight and level (arguably much harder than it seems) because any maneuvers you make originate by a straight and level flight path.  It's not as easy as you think it is, and the sim won't show you how to do that.</p>

So, get a trainer first then an instructor to help you out to get the basics, then fly the trainer for a while, then you are ready to move up to a Tiger II or Four Star 40, or whatever you may wish in the intermediate or advanced trainer level aircraft.</p>
