That malfunction, as delivered by the airplane OEM as part of the Data Package for the MAX only included an AOA low condition before the MAX crashes.

The updated malfunction with options for either AOA low or high was only delivered with the Data Package that also contains the fix to the MCAS software.

So I don't believe it is possible to reproduce the extreme MCAS events using a Full Flight Simulator used for training purpose, at least not using the AOA malfunction.
