With over 800 posts even here you're excused....
The answers, already discussed earlier, are
a) no, there is no "suitable" simulator, since there are not enough aerodynamic data in the "full stall" domain to program a simulator accurately. Simulators are programmed for this domain by extrapolation, and "best guesses". And yes, it IS being looked at by work groups, etc. ;
b) we have nowhere near enough info about what happened in the AF447 cockpit to be able to write a "scenario" to try out what could have been done, even if we had that "suitable" simulator.
