I would suggest that the simulator is probably spot on for a simple aux drive shaft failure?
If the engine MFG has data that shows what will happen
If the engine MFG has provided that data to the simulator MFG
If the simulator MFG has encoded that into the software
If the smulator MFG has provided that software or data to all operators (sponsors) of that version of the simulator
If the sponsors have updated the code

Guys, it is exactly the other way around. You have real life. And then there are the simulators that trie to simulate as accurately as possible, but still SIMULATE, what will happen so we can train that.
Right on. Seems to be the first part of "aviate navigate communicate"
For the past 10 years, I have been controlling the software on several Level D simulators. We try really hard to get it correct, but without hard data to support it, there is a lot of SWAG going on. Case in point is something as easy as EGPWS callouts. I have had 3 different check airmen for a single customer swear what they were, and they were all different. Go figure.
