I’m not a fan of progression within sims, it makes sense in real aircraft, but in Sims the only real commodity we expend is time. Cost & risk simply aren’t factors for us.
I normally suggest find an aircraft you enjoy, and jump in with both feet. There’s no need to ease into things, and time spent gaining familiarity on aircraft you’re less interested in doesn’t make as much sense as focusing on the aircraft you actually want to fly
The bae146 is a steam gauges plane.
I can say navigation is easier with glass pit aircraft, tho it takes more setup work before takeoff
