Wow that's scary.
I have never experienced split flap training in the simulator, but I have had lots of uncommanded thrust reverser deployment training which is far and away the worst adverse asymmetric control situation I have experienced, far worse than typical engine out scenarios. Based on this I would have expected the instinctive and correct reaction would be to unload the wings with forward pressure on the yoke before attempting to use full aileron, accompanied by rudder to counteract adverse yaw.
