You might have a point there ... I have no idea. I am sim only.

But (a small, humble 'but'): Imprecision of controls is one thing (i.e. slack in cables, elasticity, etc.) and a software in a 'fly by wire' system, which wrongly interpretes what you want (i.e. trimming elevator "..., 51%, 52%, 53% - oh! too much - and trying to go back to 52% gives you 49% and trying to compensate that gives you 53% again, and so on, back and forth) is something different.

I just hated that. Felt like an idiot trying to keep alongside...
