SR-71,

When I tried to reproduce the Silk Air crash in the sim I could not hold the aircraft in the dive at anything like the speeds achieved because the lift was such that the aircraft wanted to pitch up more than I could hold it down without excessive nose down trim.

Moral of the story - don't believe simulators when outside the normal operating envelope.

S&L
