The stick comes out from under the instrument panel on a horizontal pole. Normal yoke-like back and forth is the elevator control but as you move the stick side to side for roll inputs, the stick kind of rolls in your wrist - they're trying to replicate the motion tracing of a floor-mounted stick but with it coming at you horizontally instead of vertically.
So basically it's a yoke still but with the steering wheel taken off and replaced by an upright bit of metal..
