Capn Bloggs has cracked the code, heh heh. I was just offering the standard responses to those that wanted mechanically-linked controls.
And I 'spect Doze, et al, will chime in.
I discussed the stick implementation on the 447 thread because some folks thot that having 1) sticks mechanically linked and 2) being able to see what the other troop was doing could have helped the crew.
As I explained, we a) could not see what the other guy was doing, and b) it would not have made any difference because the sticks did not move! So we saw what the jet was doing and made appropriate inputs. As with the 'bus, we had a "take control" switch below the stick grip.
I always liked the force transducer implementation over a "position" design. Less to go wrong mechanically, 4 solid state transducers, and no doubt what the human command was if you relaxed pressure on the stick.
