Certainly! But that's not what I was asking, or hoping for.

Speaking of living, I searched but didn't turn up any TD website. Do you guys have one, and specifically a place for donations?

Sure, and this is the easiest problem to fix - it only needs a generic head translation limit to be applied (maybe a bit looser for bombers). What limited head movement was available after being strapped in, is vastly better than that which IL2 allows - especially for cockpits which had an armour plates designed to protect a centred head, but still allow the pilot to look around it. The tempest is a great example.
