Captain’s home flight-simulator files
Imaged by RMP · restored coordinates mapped by commentators
Files exist. A restored route into the southern Indian Ocean has been published. The 2018 report did not treat this as a reconstructed plan.
Flight-crew diversion
Manual inputs from the cockpit — who, and why, unproven

Terrorism
Hijack or bomb — not adopted as a finding
Stolen passports and a residual third-party clause keep the hypothesis in the file. No claim of responsibility, no identified bomb, no identified hijack crew.
Two stolen European passports
Italian and Austrian documents · two Iranian travellers
Yes — two Iranian men were on board. They travelled on stolen European passports (Italian and Austrian), not Iranian documents. The official investigation treated them as likely asylum seekers and did not adopt a terrorism finding.
