I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I find that hard to believe.
Why?

Even your Microsoft Flight Sim pilot knows that early joysticks had no physical feedback. Only later games joysticks have feedback.

I don't know Airbus but there is no need for physical feedback. You place the joystick (computer mouse or whatever) in the direction you want it to go then you observe the effect. This may be an indication of control surface position, the movement an instrument etc. The feedback is visual and not physical.
