Remember that you can customize your incockpit views though to make them better than the defaults and you can map them to buttons/hat on your controller.
While holding a view button (like numberpad 2 for rear), use the arrow keys on your keyboard, along with Page Up/Page Down to move your head position, and while still holding the view, press F10. That saves your head position so that any time you use the rear view again it will be in your custom position. You need to do this once on each plane for each view and they are saved from that point onwards.
