Looking Around?
I guess I'm such a noob when it comes to flight sims that all this talk of looking around to one's 6 o'clock has me perplexed. If you are flying in simulation mode, you can look up and use the rear view mirror to scout enemies on your tail. Provided, of course, you are flying an allied (here read, 'cockpit available') plane. Granted, I don't know if you can look behind in any form in the virtual cockpit view, but I never use that view. If I'm dying to fly my BF or FW, I play on realistic. Besides, unless you are plastic man, I don't think you would be able to turn your head all the way around to your 6 o'clock in reality either so it seemed logical to me to have to depend on a mirror.
The hat switch controls the look around feature on the Thrustmaster HOTAS and I find it much easier than holding down R3 to look around, but that is an option if one is using the controller (at least on PS3)...

I use the T-master Hotas, and think it performs really well. I like the way the switches are placed and the feeling of the grip. I also like the possibility to adjust the switches the way I want. Not that I change them a lot, but it happends I use another set-up at Strike.
I tried the AV8R-03 but binned it. It felt to much like "plastic", and the grip didn't fit my hand. I tried to improve the grip with gaffatape, but in the end I went on-line and purchased the T-master. The rest is Aviation History for me. I improved my performance a lot. But I guess it's like everything else... It's not the plane or the stick it depends on, it's what happends between the ears of the performer. And a lot of practice! Stay frosty!

I agree with the practice part, but having the best tools to do the job helps a lot too. I guess I have just put so many hours in playing flight sims with my X52 that its like a old pair of shoes. You know what I mean ? Hell I probably have thousands of hours of flight sim time on it. I have played years of Il2 sturmovik (pc) with it and If the patch has support for it I may even tear up on my first BOP ps3 flight ! LOL DESODE
