While a level D sim will almost certainly contain the actual fight modelled data of an airframe that is or was in service, the modelling of external environmental conditions is a pure manufactured mathematical model and so can only ever be preprogrammed. It can never therefore accurately model real world environmental and aircraft response. In short it ain’t and never will be the real aircraft response, just the best simulation.

To supplement the above. Windshear scenarios are typically based upon the FAA Windshear Training Aids (WTA) developed at the end of the last century and Microbursts are typically based upon either the NASA TM 85969 or the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) models again from the last century. These are very much training tools/aids and generic in nature.
