My problem is that I move my head around too much while flying, guess I just "get into it" too much. I never knew how much I did this until I got a TIR. I find it easier to use in other sims where the POV is glued to a solid point, but with the advanced view systems of AH it was much harder to get used to. My gunnery % was cut in half when I started and I had to have the KP8 mapped to solidify the gunsight, this was a problem for me since I have always had primary and secondary guns on two buttons and pressing a third to hold the sight still was a pain while maneuvering. I had to resort to using a 4-way hat on the throttle to switch between pan and snap modes, plus an on/off toggle and the lock-KP8. I'd suggest to anyone interested in getting one that they try it WITHOUT the vector expansion first, the added complexity and axis just make it harder until you get used to it.

For panning the views during a long commute it is great, for a 1v1 fight it still works for me. But for a multiple-con engagement (99% of the time in AH-MA) it is too disorienting for me to handle and I end up turning it off. Guess I've been using the same hat for views for 15 years and habits THAT old are hard to break.

Ya Edbert , I turn it off alot when I meet up with a con . My finger and thumb is my "Vitual Neck" so to speak . I have not had a problem with knowing were I am looking at and where my plane is relative to my plane till I started useing this lmao . It don't feel natural "yet" hehe . Like my finger and thumb is

I do like it for all the rest of the time so far , and for tanking it's nice .

When tanking I hit the "center" button when I have my head down just a bit and then I "stick" my head up to see when I am driving

pretty neat .

Also I found when flying if I set the "center" when I lean ahead a bit then move back to a more normal postion I don't have to move my head so far to look back around the headrest etc .

Victor expansion ? I guess I am dumb what is that ? The 3 dots v 1 dot ?

Still learning alot about this yet , more to learn .
