Roger, wilco and out.
It's still an open question whether the A330 was ever taken well into a full stall during flight testing and certification, or whether they just 'nibbled at the edges of the envelope'.
That answers your "no simulators please" remark as well....
'Nibbling at the edges' does not provide useful data for behaviour in a full stall, and
extrapolating those 'nibbles at the edges' does not make for a useful behaviour of the sim.
