^ @RR im still with you.
They follow the instructions in this vid, however when the AP is switched off due to wrong IAS the MCAS gets active (within 5 seconds ok), so the pilot tries to hold the plane against the MCAS downtrim which gets worse, then realising there is a runaway trim fail he also switches off auto throttle.

So in the above sim video he put auto throttle to manual at 1:27, but he did not throttle back much or so it seems?
So you say this is why they are unable to trim the plane manually because of the forces on the elevator wuth the plane getting too fast, ok.

So what is the reason they did not throttle back more in the above video?
I mean is there any reasonable explanation when three different experienced pilots in videos do not throttle back in this situation, like the ethiopian pilot did (not)?

edit what i do not understand is why he at first lets the copilot trim the plane forward instead of backward, the latter woulod be bringing them out of the situation?
