Thanks for the responses re my question above about the Airbus philosophy behind having no cross-connection on the sidesticks.
I can appreciate that having control surface forces reflected in the sidesticks would be complex and expensive but that wasn't what i was asking. My question was simpler - given the sidesticks are out of view of the "other" pilot, what is the problem with having a physical indication of movement being applied to the other sidestick?
If i am used to having a free-moving sidestick but can feel resistance when the other sidestick is being used, it would register in my brain somewhere.. Yes?
Sorry for the thread creep, but it does seem odd that such a crucial control component can be "misappropriated" so easily.
