Bah.
What we need are VR goggles, so that our view follows our head, monitors need to go to fix the problems of looking around.  Hell, AH already has support for such a device, do any exist that are reasonably affordable?

LCD screens out of laptops are reasonably cheap on ebay and most new vid cards have LCD outputs.  All you need  to do is create some kind helmet to attach it to..

Yep, VR goggles. I've long dreamed of the day when we will take VR goggles for granted.

Im a terrorist and I have a bomb! Here are my demands!@!

Also since its impossible to watch your 6 while flying at the same time in real life (at least for too long or during hard cornering), shouldnt the 6 view somehow be limited in terms of time and G pull or something. Something that make the head  go back to yhe 12 view.
