I have posted this before and was dismissed without much discusion, but I still think if we had 360 degrees of head movement in the cockpit, it would improve the realism of the game, Yes no pilot can rotate his head a full 180 degrees, but the videos I have seen of pilots in the cockpit show them twisting and arching there backs to get a better rear veiw. Something that we can't do in Il2, 360 degrees of head movement would compensate for this deficiancy and give a more realistic feild of veiw.There is nothing more annoying then looking over your shoulder and then suddenly head movement stops dead and you can still see cockpit glass extending off the edge of the monitor.The earlier version of Il2 had 360 degrees of veiw and I did find it distracting when I would see the rear seat in front of me, but you learn to avoid this and use the feild of veiw which is natural to you.I challenge one of you modders to try it as an experiment and prove me wrong, but I think you would end up agreeing with me that it is an overall improvment in Il2 in terms of realism.
