Having never, obviously, been in that scenario for real I cannot judge the sims modelling.
It felt very real. An extremely light touch is required on the thrust levers and a datum power to give speed stable flight with an 'acceptable' rate of descent needs to be found. That is all weather/weight dependent etc.
Once that datum has been established the aircraft can be 'steered' using aysemetric thrust and climbed and descended using thrust. It gets out of hand and therefore control very quickly though.
We managed to establish ourselves on a rough 'airfield' finals with 800fpm ROD descent and speed stable. That, our simulator thought, was acceptable for a rather heavy but survivable landing. Thoroughly recommend having a go if you get the time as it is an excellent handling/communication exercise if nothing else.
