Do you not find the ability to freely & smoothly look around the cockpit important? (a natural & slight movement of the thumb instead of having to jam the stick down then scan). Scanning the skies in SIM mode is the thing you do most!!!

I do see your frustration. I don't think looking at the cockpit is needed and if you look to long your adversary is gone. Normally I only use zoom if I can clearly see my opponent in front me but is a little ways off, then I zoom and fire. If your opponents are so far away that you need the zoom then look at your map to find the direction then head straight for them and then zoom.
