Some of the more vigilant sim instructors will pay close attention during V1 cuts etc, with a hand ready on the "flight freeze" button. Much easier to reposition after a flight freeze and debrief, rather than having to do a complete reset after the hydraulics come crashing down.
I guess not all sims are equal.
