I have to confess that it was a recent purchase of xplane that got me thinking about this.
I first started with the stick to the right as in a side stick position, but found it easier when in the center as I could steady it with my left hand when I needed to do something else. While I know there is a large difference between the computer and the real world, I was surprised at my preference.
Thanx for the informative replies, and the clarification on the NH-90.
I was wondring if there were any studies conducted re the saftey merits of each layout in event of an accident. I remember reading about pilots in Vietnam who had died after impact with the cyclic, a side stick would seem to minimise the risks in this area. Any thoughts?
