Salute!

A sim is a sim is a sim..........
The best way to show an "old" 737 driver MCAS and the new "fix" is to have the sucker in the real plane.
- have a means to disable MCAS and either slow to get increased AoA or do a wind up turn like the golden arms do on a test profile.
- note the back pressure as the plane gets to the stall shaker and compare to the "old" 737 they flew
- enable MCAS and repeat
- note the back pressure difference.

Demonstrating the malfunction that happened with the Lion accident would also be a good idea, but at a reasonble altitude
