Does instantly switching from a linear head controlled view orientation to a fixed view cause any disorientation? I know pauses and even micropauses can cause disorientation. Perhaps not or less so when you are expecting it.

Mapped a button to look directly back (as per Spikes suggestion), with the tracking, no disorientation so far, so all good.

Trying to get finger memory so I can use all the buttons I've mapped otherwise i'll be dropping gear when looking for flaps etc...

A button to look directly up helps imo ..

Don't forget Voice Attack. Don't have to remember which button for the gear. I do recommend you go through two levels of voice training in VA. Can make a big difference in the voice recognition.

I understand. I usually set up controls for something, use them a while, then reconfigure for better intuitiveness. Have to rewire my brain every time.

You may not be able to tell or have watched the little video above but when I say "gear" the voice after is a recording that VA plays. Got me to thinking I could record instructions for myself for things obscure, complex, or less used and have VA play back those recorded instructions. Or even something like this:

me: WEP time left
VA: You engaged WEP 37 seconds ago and have 83 seconds left

A more practical use for something like that would be using VA for WEP and have it ding or announce at the half used, or other specified time point.

Ding... you lost your other wing.

That is how mine works.

Ding.... Pull up!    Pull up!

I turn that altitude warning off in DCS. Annoying.
