Hi Snafu
I use pan view 99% of the time - I find the snap views play havoc with a condition I have so the only time I'll use instant/snap is when a bandit is on my six.
I like pan, it's more realistic than instant etc. You can also search for things a lot easier IMHO. Obviously it can be a tad slow at times but you soon get used to it!
Keep giving it a go snafu!
