As mentioned earlier, the issue there is that there is very little data on the real aerodynamic behaviour of big jets 'outside the envelope'. For simulator purposes, most is just extrapolated from available data (see the NASA report on the subject).
Simulator manufacturers wouldn't mind, but they cannot afford the (highly instrumented and risky) flight testing needed to acquire such data....;
