I think the answer to that is that when the MAX sims were ordered, the MCAS was not an issue and was not even addressed. Since then as we know, it has become a point of concern and will have be included in the final version of the sim loads. Harware is not likely in the emulation as software can be used to effectively create the simulation which is the way many sims are built to begin with. Smoke and mirrors make everything seem real1 Your assuming that the sim manufactures and FAA/Boeing and other regulatory authorities don't have a good idea what's required at this hour, but in all likelyhood they are probably pretty close to the final fix.
