C'mon CONF, as Vilas has posted, you only use full stick if you have to and you still have some "protections" ( tho I call them "limits").
Problem is we have ALT1 and then ALT2 and then DIRECT. Good grief!!!
I do not like DIRECT unless in a high-performance jet fighter that pilots can handle or a modified DIRECT that has given relations of stick displacement to control surface displacement, and then there's the rates/gains to consider.
Sheesh.
I do not see a lotta engineers here or pilots that went thru the birth of FBW and all the "laws". Many things to incorporate and many inputs to the computers. Human factors played a large role back in the 70's. The current discussion about not having sticks connected is a good example. Ditto for "pressure" versus "displacement" of the controls, be they yokes/wheels/sticks or touchpads.
