Interesting article, I admit, since it's not from a flight simmer but an A330 pilot.
Thanks,

Of even greater significance, the stick itself provides no "feel" feedback to the pilot. That is, unlike a conventional aircraft, the pilot does not get a sense through pressure of how much input is being sent to the control surfaces.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't "artificial feel" been around for a very long time for conventional powered flying controls ?
And isn't that "artificial"? I.e., it bears no direct relation to the "input" to the control surfaces (or the control surface hinge moment, if you prefer)?
