I use the <actuator> in JSBsim to model the gear in the SenecaII, using 
the rate_limit property implement the transit time.

The flightgear autopilot system has a so called noise-spike filter that 
can model transit times.

The flightgear xml based autopilot system can run at FDM rate or at 
frame rate, btw. Using a <autopilot> tag in your aircraft's -set.xml 
adds the autopilot at fdm rate, using a <property-rule> runs the same 
config at frame rate.
