Just fiddle with the curves so that they're more vertical. That way you don't have to move your head so much. And adjust the speed too. You'll find something that works for you---eventually.

I'm still fiddling with TIR. Been a couple of years now.

For looking back, turn then lean, or lean then turn.  If you do them together then it can lead to a less than great rear view.  Once you get used to it it is instant and feels natural.

profile sent, enjoy..
hope it helps
Its good to set up a center button on your stick, so when you are sitting in your best place you center the trackir, like F12  when you are in the Trackir program, also a trackir off and trackir pan( think its pan) are good to set up on your stick so you can turn it on and off in game , if and when you want to.all done in game.

Fun fact-  F12 also works ingame, as does F9 to turn TrackIR on and off.

The main thing is, learn to adjust the curves and get your profile how you want it.  Head tracking is the single most personal thing in the game IMO, way more than joystick settings.  I find if some part of my profile is bugging me, it never really gets better until I fix it.  YMMV.

My profile is aggressive.  For gunnery rather than having an on/off switch for TrackIR, I prefer to just have dead space in the middle where you've got a bit of leeway and don't need to have your head exactly centered to put it in the gunsight.  I've probably got about 3/4" or so of dead zone for my head before my x, y, z, pitch, and yaw kick in.

To be honest I could likely disable my y and z axes and not notice.  My chair almost immobilizes my shoulders so I do most of my movement just sideways to look around the canopy.

I think I have this sucker figured out.  What I did was chose an axis, let's saw yaw. I move my head to what I think is the maximum amount I would be comfortable moving it in game and for an extended period of time.  Note where the red line is and then adjust to curve to 180 degrees from there. 

Really enjoying it, track IR rocks and is well worth the money.
