Solution for cockpit look?

[noxnoctum]

Hey guys, just bought 1946, downloading now...

Does anyone have any good suggestions for mapping "free look" or whatever it's called?

I seem to remember this being very irritating problem when I played Il-2 a long time ago on a friend's computer. You had to use the mouse to look around, which was really impractical (difficult to manage joystick+mouse at the same time).

I remember trying to map the "lock look" or whatever it's called to the hat (where you look all the way in one direction in the cockpit) but that's not great either because then you can't see all the stuff in between the "extremes".

Any suggestions other than buying TrackIR? (not an option!!)
