At that time we were well established in a 15000ft/min descent, stable, no bank, a G meter would have probably indicated 1G.
With the SS full forward, I would expect the elevators to be full leading edge up for a simulator full nose down command, and be displayed as such on the SD.
Then we both agree that both elevators should show a full down deflection.
If it was not the case, it would be a major MAJOR concern ...
One then would in general expect the nose of the simulator to follow this command. Why it didn't in the 330 and evidently did in the 320 is what's at issue.
My personal answer would be that the 12 deg NU THS position influence for the 330 simulation had much more impact than the full ND elevators position.
