I know there was a prototype (I "think" Germany, but not sure, was like some 10 years ago).

The Problem was that the sidestick used worked quite well, but practically its use was screwing Test Drivers big time (hard to get used to). After all... they're Drivers, not pilots Wink

IMHO, Project got scratched for severe usability and the related safety issues.
