DDR3 Write Leveling

Question

If I have "Quick Calibration" selected when I create an instance of the DDR3 HP Controller with Quartus 8.0, should I expect to see it go into write-leveling mode when I sim it in Modelsim?  Everything I'm using was created by the megawizard tool (example_tb, example_driver, altera's DDR3 sim, etc.).  When I kick off the sim, it writes to the mode registers to set up the DDR3 DIMM, but I never see it write to them again to start write leveling (setting bit 7 in MR1).  Is this something that should only happen if full calibration is selected?

Only with full calibration selection, you can observe the write leveling operation.

But the full calibration mode can not be done with memory model provided by altera, correct?  Does this mean I can only do it with a manufacturer-provided model?  Thanks for the feedback.
