I can not see why you should not be practice even "drop wing" and steep diving to get out of stall etc - I did it. - at age 14 - -in a real sailplane - from 3000 feet. If it's not possible in the sim - why don't you make an appointment with an sailplane-instructor - It could be great fun also
I agree. In a sailplane the nose usually pitches down on it's own when stalled - so you quickly get used to it pointing at the ground. If that doesn't happen in a jet I imagine some bravery is required to push the nose that far down - not least when 25% of the people in the back aren't strapped in.

Why wasn't full power applied? They can't have recognised the stall.
