I don't know Reg, you're the guy who can't make it to the track to settle this once and for all!

Wonder how hard it is to transition to Joystick control Vs Yoke?
I would imagine being seated its a non issue but also that it is on the left for the Captain.

Also noticed the differential thrust during taki to gate.

Very cool video!

It's quite different. The fly-by-wireside controllers have artificial feel built into them so the actual pitch / roll movements used to control the aircraft are very small; the first tendency is to overcontrol, but once you get used to it, it's terrific. My point of reference is the Falcon 7x, which has the same setup. You can put that thing in a steep turn (45 degrees of bank) and take your hand off the stick and the auto-trim features (roll and pitch)will plant the plane in the turn without you doing a thing. It's quite remarkable.
