A stupid question ?

I've no idea what that is. I've seen that on some screenshots.

There is no such thing as a stupid question.

 

That is part of the flight testing equipment that can be turned on/off via the PMDG options menu.

I guess...It is something which shows that it is a test (ready for first test flight) plane.

It looks like an external FLUSH CHAIN for the rear toilets ?

Called the flight test package. You can turn it off in the CDU.

The object is called a "Trailing Cone" and it is used to calibrate the airdata system during flight testing of an aircraft. The cone can be reeled out quite a ways from the aircraft during flight into undisturbed air and gives a more acturate static reference.
