Winnerhofer, Thank you! I heard about this simulation

Tragic animation indeed .... show more than all graphics and curves !
Indeed, I'm amazed how fast the time elapsed. We zoom in graphics, but actually, in reality, in about 90 seconds (at 1:30 in video) the THS is near max NU - there, they were already doomed. More than first half of this period of time, Bonin learned to fly the plane at high altitude, he was absorbed by roll control.
As I read somewhere (sorry I don`t remember the article, please correct me or confirm), for both PFDs of simulation, the inputs are from captain's DFDR data, we will never know what Bonin saw on his display.
We can see better from his point of view if hide the imagine of stalled plane (i.e. a notepad window) and try to ignore THS and AOA indications.

By the way, if aircraft has been equipped with those instruments, AF447 would still fly today.

Edit:
An interesting result for combination of simulation video with sound of the reconstruction in link below, start at time 3:24

I watched them in parallel, then I realize that my post #649 makes a lot of sense.
