It is therefore airload related feedback.
This is what the transducers are supposed to do. Feedback from every control surface is recorded, digitalized and corresponding pressure is applied back to each sidesticks axis. What should have created the legend of "no sidestick feedback" is due to normal C* law feeling of being always correctly trimmed (which is the case).
