We had one of the first A320 simulators with cockpit 1.7 standard in 2011. That had a direct Angle Of Attack tape that could be displayed on the captains' left side, as I understood that was an improvement made due to AF 447.

Update

It turns out to be the Backup Speed Tape, which shows red, amber and green zones. The needle needs to be kept in the green zone by providing pitch stick inputs.

Update

It turns out to be the Back Up Speed Scale (BUSS), which shows red, amber and green zones, and is based on Angle-Of-Attack information. The needle needs to be kept in the green zone by providing pitch stick inputs. Flight control law is direct law.
