The flying characteristics of a light twin is too different from a modern airliner to make them useful for simulation. They fly too slow and too low... a slow stall at 3000' is very different than a high-speed stall at FL380.

However, there are many modified light jets (Learjets, etc.) with customized cockpits / flight control systems being used for training purposes, including upset recovery training.
