It's so simple I can't understand why I didn't think of it before.
You've been there, got a fight goin, couple more join in...
and then a few more...
Before you know it theres cons EVERYWHERE and you taxing the limits of the springs in that little plastic view hat..
Your hitting your views, making your moves...it keeps getting worse.. but you have a handle on it...
At about that time your hair bursts into flames...
Now between you and me, when the hair bursts into flames it takes me out of my game..
I have to put out the associated fires that start on my flight suit and about the cockpit, move my beer from between my legs to the cup holder...crack the wing window to let the smoke out...
All of this while the cons continue to come in...
I've found a simple solution to this ongoing problem. Being that I tend to fly in "warm" areas anyway...
I set my own hair on fire on the takeoff roll..
Saves all those pesky distractions when my hair spontaneously combusts anyway..
Try it, it works for me :)

You are one odd duck poopster.

It's because you use your joystick hat for views. You will be much better off if you use your keyboard (I am NOT kidding). Use the hat for trim or some other semi-unimportant function.
Of course, the default keymapping is as bad if not worse than using the hat (numeric keypad just doesn't cut it for views).

Part crazy, part mangy, all rabid, you're the pirate all the others fear might just snap soon. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
That's right! And don't you forget it!
