I would like to ad that if you release the sidestick, the side stick comes back automatically in his neutral position, and so no input is given.

on "standard" planes, by example in a turn, you maintain a force in the control wheel and you go with your turn(small inputs).

in the airbus, you point the nose to get an bank angle(big input) and you release the stick.when you finish your turn, you displace the stick in the opposite direction to cancel the bank, and you release the stick.(the computer do the turns for you and maintain your bank/pitch)

there is no pitch angle to give in a 360 turn, the 320 will do the job for you.it is auto-trimmed.

pilots say it take some time to "feel" the aircraft which I belive, so far I "flew" the sim...
