Default Bouncing needles

Apologies if this was asked previously, but I did search through about 5 pages of search results and found nothing like this before.

I was curious about the bouncing needles that we've been seeing in all of the gameplay videos. I know that Oleg responded at one point and said the needles have inertia and so vibrations/maneuvering/etc would cause them to move, but it seems that the amount of movement is excessive.

I'm a flight instructor by trade and fly older aircraft with analog gauges (technology that has not particularly evolved over the last 70 years) and from personal experience I've never seen anything as dramatic as what's shown in the videos.

I will agree that the needs to bounce and move and especially the airspeed indicator will oscillate in turbulent/gusty conditions, but particularly the altimeter is not an instrument that moves a lot due to momentum. I believe the mechanics of it are such that it is much more resistant to movement than say the airspeed indicator.

What is the consensus about this now that there are people out there that are actually playing it? Is the needle movement still violent even in level flight as we saw in some of the videos?
