Or a full-on 3D version of your jitter code, where the pilot's head
tilts to the side due to sudden side forces. :)

This is actually something I want to try once the cockpit stuff
stabilizes.  The ability to bounce the viewpoint around (in
turbulence, on touchdown) just too cool.  In a 3D cockpit, you can
actually watch the aircraft twist around you during yaw oscillations.
The pilots head could lag changes in the aircraft orientation a little
bit...
