The thing that dissappoints me most is the lack of coupling b/n roll and yaw.

As an ex aerospace engineer this really knocked me out, as an ex-pilot, this
is what makes flight so unrealistic to fly.

I suppose that the equations were uncoupled to make it moderately fast on the
old hardware. Now that the machines are so much faster, it is probably worth
re-writing the code to use the 'correct' equations of motion.
