Direct law in the real aircraft does happen. Even so it's a rare event. Happens in my outfit in 2017. I talked about it to the captain who had the chance to fly direct law on that occasion. They had dual IR fault. He said direct law is a lot easier to handle in the real aircraft than the sim. Not a surprise here. Direct law in the sim is way too sensitive. I quite enjoy it tho.
