Hey everybody, it's silly question time. Is the sidestick difficult to get used to? I don't know how similar a joystick may handle as compared to a sidestick, but I find them kind of annoying. Making turns while keeping the nose level is particularly problematic, it's often hard to tell whether the joystick is perfectly centered. Turns with a yoke seem to be much easier. Any Airbus drivers care to comment?
