I pretty much agree with everything Iceman404's said here regarding turning when gliding. The instant directional change with the mouse would be much better as the glider's angle being gradually changed towards the direction you're aiming at and would stop it being completely ridiculous to aim at. Especially when the user is high up.
I'm indifferent about a slide when landing and slower falling though.
