Don't know the answer to that. Boeing did the initial cadre of sim instructors by only using a fairly advanced FTD. The instructors we all previously 777 qualified.
This was done as a proof of concept for minimal 777 to 787 conversion training. I don't think and airlines are actually using that footprint for there flight crews.
