Congratulations dude! It'll take a wee bit of getting used to, but will totally change your game.

If I remember correctly, the default settings will have a dead zone at the centre point, graduating to greater sensitivity at the sides. I would remove that dead zone on the main axes for looking around - ie X and Y (looking left/right/up/down). Your view will be wobbly for a bit while you get used to keeping your head steady, but its better without the dead zones because you will want to be able to glance at your instruments, or over your wing, without having to use a pronounced head movement. It only takes a very subtle shift and just seems natural.

For the 6DOF (head shift) settings I would keep a dead zone so that for the most part your head will stay centred on the gunsight. Without the DZ I found my head would inconciously drift, and I quickly got uncomfortable trying to sit in _exactly_ the position that would keep my view squared.

With the small DZ in the peripheral axes I can still shift my head in the cockpit, but do it by choice rather than by accident.
