I've just seen that the airbus Fly By Wire works slightly different. I'll create a new fly-by-wire / modify this one to have it function that way. In Airbus Aircraft, moving the control stick controls angular acceleration, and not angular velocity. That is, when you move the stick to the left, the plane starts turning left, when you bring the stick back to the center, the fly-by-wire asks the plane to maintain that bank angle. It's the same case for pitch, and this is not available in Boeing's Fly-By-Wire.
