The digital ones can be set to act as 'mouse' but they do not auto centre the view when released.

Why are all flightsticks still employing digital POVs and not analogue ones - an alternative choice would be nice?
F9 key in IL2 does that. Press it once - the POV won't center after viewing (that is how I used it). Press it again and it resets the view after you release it. This is far from defining it as an analog - and since WoP is a derivate from IL2, I guess there should be a similar command.

For IL2 that doesn't support 6DOF Track IR wasn't worth it IMO. As for DCS with it's 6DOF and fully 'clickable' cockpit, and the upcoming SoW that I doubt it won't have support for 6DOF (I believe it was already stated long time ago by Oleg himself that it will support it), Track IR + VectorClip is a worthy purchase. I just don't have enough spare time to build something myself, no matter how interesting that would be.
