Is this an alpha floor equivalent in the 744?

I discovered recently that if you fly in SPD mode and enter a speed that is horribly slow, when the Queen slows down enough to induce stick shaker and head toward the red stall bricks, suddenly FLCH will kick in and give you a massive boost up and over to get you righted again.

Stall modelling is diabolically bad in the latest few versions of FS.Ironically in FS5.1 you had a fairly good model in that you could spin, stall and even snap-roll aircraft, then in FS98 they lost the plot a bit.Hopefully with X coming soon we shold see a remedy to this, not that you want to snap roll a 747 or an MD11 mind you, but I like the idea of knowing I could TRY. :-)
