Thank you for the great reception to feedback so far.
So, the next step I think for making this more of a simulation and not "breaking the fourth wall" or taking the user out of the experience -- support for TrackIR and VR. TrackIR is probably the easiest to support and use, and the most affordable to users. It really makes it much easier to pan around the view while doing things like spotting and making course changes.
Do you plan to support this at some point?
The other option would be a mouseview key. This is a distant second to head-tracking and VR support.
Thanks for considering this feedback, as headtracking is default on almost all major sims now, including industrial and military simulators (I worked on the latter).
