I use the hat on joystick for primary views, and one of the blue buttons on the throttle as an "Up" modifier -- so left+up gives me that view.
Then, I set up the ministick to mimic the arrow functions, so I could fine adjsut views to see around canopy framing, etc.
I use the SST software also. Just starting to get fancy with it -- for example, I have one key set to give an outside view to scan for enemies from the tower or from buffs, but when I hold it for over a second it kicks me back inside.
