Absoulutely right, but for doing that you have to simulate the plastic behaviour of the airframe, and the airframe, and i don“t think that the sim can do that.
I think its a great addition to improve realism, its far from the best, but its better that we had, IMO.

As one mentioned, there will be A LOT of complains from people that are used to move the joy like crazy at any speed.
