Was that SIM ride supposed to be taken seriously?

Instead the LH seat operator wasted what could be critical time making feeble hand movements
While the PF seemed to be waggling the stick about perhaps to liven up the smooth air.

And as for that screw jack. I've got antique furniture that sounds better than that when it reached the top of the run.

I've never understood Boeing and that million-turn philosophy. The BAC 1-11 wheel was supremely accurate and quite simply part of the hand flying. It's hard to see why there would be two such disparate design philosophies.
