The erroneous and exaggerated wind read out is to be expected with airspeed unreliable on the Boeing that I fly (I imagine the B744 is similar). A corrupt pitot static input causes the related ADIRU to produce all sorts of nonsense. IAS, TAS, Mach, W/V, stickshaker, overspeed, GPWS windsheer warnings, even the Altimeter can all be rendered unreliable. It is a very confusing situation to be confronted with and sobbers the mind completely. It comes as little wonder when you consider how accidents occur with this sort of failure(s).
Cudos to the OPs airline for understanding and exposing this type of occurrence. All crews should be confronted with this type of training. To combine it with upset recovery is also a fantastic idea as delayed recognition or as the OP suggests, operation withinin the limits of the aircraft flight envelope, may require the correct recovery technique to be applied.
It amazes me how many pilots appear bewildered when you mention the old adage, pitch x thrust = performance. It's disconcerting when you learn that so many are unaware of the importance of having a working knowledge of he fugures found within thr Performance Inflight section for flight with unreliable airspeed or the number one thing to do in a stall is to reduce the angle of attack. Seriously.
Credit to flyburg for posting his experiences in the sim, especially when he considers how he had felt humbled by the occurrence. However I'd be pretty sure that he now feels more confident about how to recognise and confront such a scenario, a scenario which in all likelihood has greater chances of occurring than an engine failure at V1.
