FFF v1.2

Just a thought here, in the smaller sort of aircraft used for training eg. cessna 152 then turbulence doesn't just move you up and down as you would sense in an airliner, but quite often can pick up one wing or the other and the vertical movement can be quite dramatic.

To ease your unhappiness, it might be an idea for FFF to demonstrate how agile a C152 can be, and that even at high angles of bank and pitch the thing won't just fall out of the sky.

I was airbourne today and the turbulence was that bad I couldn't press one of the buttons on the radio we were being thrown around so much. Although at least I didn't crack my bonce off the roof as I have done before.
