I think it makes sense what some wrote here. The sim behaviour is not reliable out of the tested airplane envelope.
Anyway I`ll answer the questions posted here:
- if you look back through the various threads you will note that many, including me, consider you needed -50 degrees of pitch to unstall. I doubt -10 would do it in time. Are you saying the sim would not GIVE YOU -50 or that you selected -10?
As it stalled the nose fell down from around 30º to 10º pitch down just like a small aircraft. And it stayed there. I applied full side stick forward but was unable to lower the nose more 10º down as well as recovering from the stall. At around 26000 ft I brought the thrust levers to idle to benefit from the pitch down moment with no effect.
does the simulator produce a log of flight parameters, like a FDR?
if yes, is it similar to the actual FDR data from AF447?
Didn`t tried , but I don`t think so.

5.Then I pushed the side stick full forward and kept it there. NOTHING. Interesting to note that I was maintaining pitch 10º Down , but it never got out of stall.
NOTHING? When did it go from 30º Up to 10º Down?
P.S. At what point did you consider the airplane stalled, i.e. what criterion did you use to identify the stall?
As above: Just before it stalled there was a strong pitch up moment which raised the nose to around pitch +30º.I was doing some force puling the side stick to keep it at around 15º degrees up when just before the stall with the same force applied in the side stick it raised the nose to 30ºUP.
It stalled like a small aircraft.Nose fell down to around -10º and stayed there never recovering, and I was unable to increase the pich down.

AF447 showed no tendency to do that.
Well, not really. Seems to be from what I`ve read that AF447 reached 30º UP or close at some point.
