Hello Rolf,
Depending what do you want to fly.

Most RC pilots in Canada use RealFlight (https://www.realflight.com). Good, but very expensive.
There are also ACCURC (https://accurcsimulator.com), it is good for helicopters and drones. But I don't know, is it good for the planes. It has some.
You may also try to find old good Phoenix (https://www.rc-thoughts.com/phoenix-sim/) (already abandon-ware), AeroFly (https://www.ikarus.net/en/) or even Reflex (https://www.reflex-sim.net/en).

In fact you don't need a very expensive simulator to start flying.
You may learn to take off and land even with cheap or free simulator. But you definitely need a RC style controller to make your hands and fingers get used to the controls.
Advanced expensive simulators only needed when you want to start learning aerobatics on professional level.
