So, if someone could explain why I have no 6DOF on a straight-forward, clean install, after 4 attempts, I'd really apreciate it.

I will try, with a picture.

Sometimes I go into a panic when I only have 2DOF at game start. Then I hit the numpad * key to bring up the menu in the picture. I then toggle zoom view [keypad 0] on and off a couple of times, and that brings it back to 6DOF.

Hope this helps.
