Nimsim tks for your post....it brings to mind has anyone seen any results of any a330 sim rides trying to recreate the incident based on what is out there so far from the weather and the acars mtc messages?
All very true, but....
How many times did we do a sim-ride/check/re-current and the sim (read computer!) was not programmed to behave the same as the A/C would in real life. Again; the outcome of a computer depends on a) how you program it you want to behave (software written) and b) what you insert as an input to it.
I´ve done many sim-sessions and sometimes "the sim" comes with a outcome thats is/could/should-not be realistic to the real A/C..
My few cents......
