With our new 6DOF free camera system that allows you to poke your head out the window or "bend" forward and look at the seat back, there's just no way we can animate the body to follow the camera, meaning you'd be able to twist your neck and look back on your own headless contorted body.
So, the answer is no. A poltergeist cockpit is not perfect, but the alternative is even worse. "
