"updated flight data" is exactly the reason why you can't fly away in the sim after losing your tail rotor. Many of us had done training in that sim and similar ones where it was possible to fly away. This now appears to have been teaching a response that was incorrect most of the time. Harsh reality since then reinforces that an immediate autorotation is (and was then too) the recommended immediate response. My notes from my last sim session in DFW state enter autorotation, then if altitude permits, check if powered flight is possible. Unfortunately powered flight was always possible in the sim.
