The Trident simulator had different pitch characteristics to the aircraft - this was confirmed to me by one of the Papa India investigators.
Think the stick moved that much because of the nature of analogue computers and the gain programming; would guess it was smoothed out on production aircraft.
The flight director bars were twitchy as well but if you flew pitch referenced to ROD and glide slope it was smoother.
