Do the sidestick controllers move and do they provide artificial feel feed back? There is some debates going on about this issue for the AF447 flight.

The sidestick controllers move (not with the autopilot though they are locked in position). The feel is nothing more than the movement of the stick and the resistance via springs or plungers (not sure how Airbus designed it) there is no artificial load/feel.
