737Forever asked in the first post:

"How does the fly by wire system on the 777 work in a crosswind? Can you sideslip with cross control like a conventional aircraft or does a aileron input on the yoke just command a given roll rate.so that you have to neutrelaze the yoke once the give bank angle is achived?"

Zlin77 replied in post 2

"Flies just like a normal aircraft with crossed controls, control inputs must be maintained to displace the flight control surfaces...."

I was hoping for a clear answer (don't fly A's nor B's). Do you have to neutralize the yoke once the given bank angle is achieved, as 737forever asks?
And..when zlin77 says control inputs must be maintained to displace the flight control surfaces...is this correct? and are the ailerons in fact displaced once the desired wing down bank angle is achieved?
