The trim took a little getting used to as you had to press the center in prior to actuating the up/down or left/right movement (aileron trim not necessary for this sim). Make sure you can get full rudder deflection on the ground, as it will be required on the V1 cut. We initially did one radar pattern to an ILS full stop on 22L at JFK. The weather was overcast at 400 ft with a slight right to left crosswind. Although we had to hand fly, we did have the v-bar flight director. The flight directer was helpful for everything except on departure, as it is in Go Around mode. This keeps it pegged at 10ish degrees nose high.
