After years of using a hat stick for views I still thumbed the hat after I got Track-IR, now after 2 years of using Track-IR I turn my head even if not using Track-IR!
Its funny how your brain learns then can relearn things.
Personally I find Track-IR (headtracking) far superiour to hat switch viewing, for example coming in to land you can tilt and slide your head a bit to look out the edge of the cockpit around cowling etc in 6 D.O.F. very immersive! It does take some personalisation of the Track-IR settings, especially of the central dead-zone to suit yourself.
I have my rear view settings so when my heads turned for 6 o'clock rear one eye has completely lost view of screen (as in real backwards viewing unless you are an owl).
