Hi OK465,

I'm not qualified to answer that.
As far as personal opinions go, I cannot see why it would be a disadvantage to do this (from a flying skills point of view).
But there are not so many Level D simulators, perhaps they are better used at something else (that they do accurately). If the goal is to train crews to push stick & decrease thrust, a more simple sim/trainer may be enough... and cheaper, pending the final report & recommendations.
