Is there a good way to practice scan? I imagine a full blown sim would be

all the fancy bells and whistles in MSFS anyway. Is there a cheap way that
doesn't require a huge outlay in new hardware?

Why not consider purchasing a copy of MSFS 2004 from eBay or other software
site and then dialing down all the "bells and whistles" aka display settings.
That and setting weather to 250 feet overcast in a 5,000 foot deep layer
should result in the sim easily running on your PC to give you what you need,
which is a cheap instrument scan practice tool.
