Fixed a problem with TrackIR support that didn't give players the proper head position movement in various planes.

Works like charm! Absolutely fantastic!  :aok

Rear view is worse than before. I just wont fly it until I'm with some squadies or in a mission.

People  keep saying that the views are horrible now... but they seem to me to be better than before in every position beside 6 O'clock, which really isn't that bad.

When I know that bullets are flying past me, I know someone is on my tail. I bet that the F6F is gonna become the bigger picker, over the F4Us.

Yer, I could care less about my 6 oclock, when my wing falls off I think to my self, "well I guess someone was on me" :D

The up six view is great, you just have to get it set up right.

The straight six is terrible no matter how much you tweak it. other than that, it looks great from every other viewpoint. Maybe they could add a little more side to side movement for fine tuning the rear view.

Thanks I'm not a noob I know how to set my views....on that screenshot we can see the huge blind spot.

Decent views is very important in my ride choice so I'll fly F4U's now in cv attack role. I think we'll see less F6F's now.

Wouldnt that huge blind spot be an armor plate built into the canopy rear? Maybe just a sunshade.

With all due respect for your take on things the 6 rear views I've always used are infact alot worse now.  Perhaps you've missed page up / down or arrows feature in the past.  Maybe worth checking all your planes.
