@ChristiaanJ - the A320 did in fact have Gordon Corps.
Also, MS Flight Sim provides a rough-and-ready simulation of everything from single-engined Cessnas (where feedback comes directly from the surfaces and is therefore appropriate) to the A380 (where it arguably isn't such a big deal). When the force-feedback on a computer joystick or yoke malfunctions or dies, you can hit Alt-F4, get up from your chair, go to the store and get a replacement. If force-feedback were to go wrong at 35,000ft your options are more limited.
