I think it's great that FlightGear added head lag to the sim -- it's a good alternative when the pilot can't feel forces -- but I think we'd do better to model it based on perceived forces, not on roll/yaw/pitch damping. For example, simply entering a coordinated bank gently shouldn't cause any head movement at all, but flying straight in a forward slip should, because there's a yaw force pulling the head slightly sideways. Likewise, while the pilot is perceiving < 1G the head should move up a bit, and while the pilot is perceiving > 1G, the head should move down a bit.
Would anyone object to my checking in some changes over the next week or two to change this? We can always roll them back if they don't work.
