gonebutnotforgotten,
Thank you so much for joining us in this thread and thank you so much for that original article.
Just a few minutes ago, I read an update on the FlyDubai crash. That update came from a short report, in Russian, issued today by the MAK. It said that "on reaching 900 m, there was recorded stab travel to the nosedive position, resulting in aircraft beginning descent and hitting runway".
That must be a sadly familiar scenario to you, as it sounds exactly like the simulator account you gave in your article.
