From what we can see they took the B747 sim out, which makes sense as the 747 was still part of the fleet and would have been for a long longer if not for current events.
I'm sorry but which sims are we talking about?

The video shows the SEP hall; the cabin simulators there are - well, were - bits of old fuselages (or actual plywood) with no moving parts with the exception of the 737 which rested on some hydraulic jacks. These have all been replaced with much higher spec ones on the second floor of TBC, built by BA Engineers. The actual plane sims (the ones used for pilots) have all been moved to TBA or sold.

Here how TBA looks these days (or a couple years ago):
