Wow.

Can you still use keypad (or mapped joystick) buttons to snap view? I ask because the only thing I dont like is the way it gives you the "bad" rear view and a mapped view that avoids the seat would be better.

heh, I'm guessing that sortie didn't end with a landing.

best way to check 6 with it is to use your thumb hat to get you to that quadrent and then lean. Looking forward you can easily look arround braces or over your nose a little. HT did a great job. But we need all new cockpits cause with track IR things like working nobs and stuff are way cooler.

Heh, nope, no landing :)  20 seconds after that last shot I ended up skimming over the ground 250mph into a hill.

73:  That six view wasn't working for me either, and it turns out I had tweaked the Z axis on accident instead of the Y, resulting in a very sensitive 'head forward' scaling.  Regardless of where you turn your head, the Z axis is perpendicular to a line through your ears.   It follows your current Yaw.  Anway, my point is, it was moving too far in the aft direction of the cockpit while looking back.  All axes are completely adjustable to your liking.  

Grits:  Yeah, numpad and hat views still function when TIR is enabled.  To add to what Pongo is describing... Say you press and hold the 4 numpad key too look left.  While the traditional view keys are pressed, pitch and yaw are disabled and the XYZ axes are still functioning.  So while looking left using numpad, you can move your head up/down/back/forth/left/right if you like.  The same is true for the six view.  Press 2 numpad, lean left/right/up/down/etc...

otherwise just lean manually while your head is turned :)
