It appears that I have been misunderstood. Evidently my prose needs improvement.

I wrote:

you do get 'bumps' with turbulence and convective action, but they are of large amplitude
That is; the total movement is too small, I've occasionally bumped my head on the canopy due to not tightening the harness sufficiently.

and very low frequency
The shaking shown is too rapid, it should be spaced out more.

I also agree with some of the statements made here, for instance:

Very true, the most you will get from the stick is some pre-stall vibration and the tightening of the controls as speed increases. Turbulence is felt through your backside (or your head, in my case).

In regard to FFB I'd be more interested in the real characteristics of the aircraft, like the spitfire's reversal of stick force gradient as one approaches the stall, the heavy force needed on the rudder to keep the 109 in balance at cruise speed.

Have to reply to this though:

100% sure infact.
100% wrong as it happens, though I'll admit that I haven't done it in a Spitfire yet.
