The CRJ development depend only of Hans Hartmann, and after ATR, he can be taking a small holidays period. 

[Are hydraulic SOVs modeled?]

Probably not; the hydraulic system can still operate control surfaces even with the hydraulic pumps switched off. I would be surprised if the Hydraulic SOV is even modelled to do anything to the hydraulic "system". Let alone actually stop the control surfaces from moving.

 

EDIT: I stand corrected, the SOV buttons can be clicked but they're a bit awkward to reach. Try moving the camera angle:

 

 

 

It seems to partially work. Shown here is the aircraft with full reversers and the control column full up and right (rudder full left):

With SOV's open:

 

With SOV's closed:

 

 

Nothing is wrong in the photo, in the real CRJ you can move the flight surfaces without hydraulic power, after all the surfaces are connected with cables to the yoke and pedals, you can manually move the PCUs without hydraulic power, obviously you will have to apply much more force for this on the flight controls.
