Sorry, I understand your point now and tend to agree with you. I have no idea how realistic loosening straps during combat would be but my initial thought is 'not very'! I guess you would have to experience it to know for sure, though. Also depends how easy it was to loosen and tighten the straps as well. Probably took both hands to do for a start?

The other consideration, however, is that the virtual pilot already suffers from lack of situational awareness due to lack of, for example, peripheral vision etc even with FT/TrackIR. Perhaps this is a valid concession although not realistic.
