I appreciate the hell out of that HiTech.  Perhaps now I can start doing some more Corsair flying! 

Thanks!!

I've got Track IR, never quite saw this problem... If views are a problem, move your head forward and then press the magic reset key for TrackIR, when you move your head back to your resting position, it will give you far better SA if thats what you're asking. Just a trick I use to pwn face  :aok

I do that too, but when you have to do that for much of a distance you can start drifting further and further off center.  And in some planes like the Corsair, that big plate overhead is still in you way when you look up or up and forward some.   I end up having to lean forward or to the side to see around it.  That's doable, but then in a fight, you're actively thinking about moving your head and body to keep sight, and not about flying and fighting.  It's a definite distraction and that definitely affects your fighting. 

This will be a nice and easy fix to help make it work better in general.  I am of the opinion that this should take away the few remaining places where the hat views are better than I'm able to get with the TIR.

So what you're saying is the following: If I move my head to look back in any plane, it will automaticly look around the seat without me having to move my arse off the chair? If that's the case I'll most likely buy the new TR.

What's being said is this:

Your TIR head is in the center of a sphere.  You can swivel your head left or right and remain in the center of the sphere.  In some planes, the default centered head position is either too close or too far from the instrument panel for some people.  If you move your head closer, then re-center TIR, the center of the sphere is closer to the front of your cockpit.  When you move back to your normal (not leaning forward anymore) position, you are no longer in the center of the TIR sphere.  When you swivel your head left or right, because you are no longer in the center of the sphere, the view doesn't rotate as it should.

cc that, thanks for clearing it up.

Would be good if HiTech could do the same for every position to make looking around the seat easier. Like I explained in my above post.
