When I am tracking someone by turning my head to the up/left say, I get to the point my old neck dont want to go no more so I pull the "6" toggle but that head movement is opposite of what I was tracking so I have to swing my head to the other side and try to pick up the con again.
Is there a way to switch it(flip it), or is there some work around I can use?
Thanks

In VR take your headset off and set the view using your monitor

The view is set ok. If I track a con turning my head to the left toward 9 oclock, when I switch to the rear view I will be looking at 3 oclock. What I need to do is switch "left" and "right". When looking forward left is left, but in the 6 view I need my left to be on the right.

Is that a specific plane thing?
I get a side rear view in a f4u but not in a 109..
109 6 view is directly astern..

Have you tried using up-left and up-right?

OK, we are looking down on the plane, 2 is the nose and direction of travel, 6 is ....well our six :)
If I am tracking a target down my left side...2, 3, 4, 5 I am turning my head to the left and eventually over my left shoulder to try and look to my 6. Old age doesnt allow me to do this any more so I was hoping to use the "6 view" button on my joystick. The problem is as I reach the 4-5 area of my head movement, I hit the 6 switch and now I am looking at the 0-7 view out of the plane. My target is all the way on the other side of the tail.
So far I have removed the left, rear, and right views from my hat switch. I have the left/rear, and the right rear still active, but dont know how well I can track targets through those views.
What Im looking for is a way to swap the view when using the the hat switch to look rearward. Its a relative issue.Turning my head to the left I see the left side of the plane but jumping to the read view my left head movement is looking out the right side of the plane.

Once you turn your head to 10 hit the 6 button and you will naturally move your head back to 12(forward) pick up the con and track from 10 to 6 easily and in the correct perspective

I saw what you meant last night Fugi and realized, like SNO states, I don't track much from the 12 view past 10 or 2 without hitting the 6 view button and going from there..
Not sure there is a fix for what you are trying to track like..
