Delays in Boeing Max Return Began With Near-Crash in Simulator By Alan Levin

Right. We knew about the proposal to redesign MCAS to use both FCCs, but I don't think the sim "near-crash" has been discussed.

Edit: Re-reading . . . actually, maybe it was, sort of.

From the linked article:

Changing the architecture of the jet’s twin flight computers, which drive autopilots and critical instruments, has proven far more laborious than patching the system directly involved in 737 Max crashes, said these people, who asked not to be named speaking about the issue.

I guess they haven't been reading PPRuNe forums.
