Suggestion: More realistic steering dynamics

If pitch roll and yaw of the boat were to be modelled, then it'd be worthwhile having that as a configurable setting. Reason being, if your visual reference is moving with the boat's changes in pitch/roll etc, but you are not physically experiencing it sat at your pc, then for some there will come a point where that mis-match in sensory input will cause nausea and worse!

In fact it's exactly the reverse, but no less powerful, to what happens if you get sea-sick, where you are seeing a "still" boat, but are experiencing a moving one!

So, it needs to be configurable...
