Towards the end of 2017, I had a company sim assessment in the only 737 MAX sim outside of the US. I believe the only other one at the time was at Boeing Seattle. I remember having to trim a lot during climb out and at some point telling the assessor the aircraft is not responding to my input and that my input had a lag. I feared I was just a crap pilot after 9 years on the Bus. He did apologise afterwards and we brushed it off as a crappy beta release simulator that clearly needed fixing. I got the job but thankfully never flew the type. Now certain that was MCAS on display right there.
My question is back then did any TRIs/TREs question this bad simulator behaviour and notify Boeing about it? If so did you ever get a response?
