I see what you are getting at.
Headtracking works because it does not track your head movements 1 to 1. You do not have to look behind you to check your six in game. You look slightly left to pan the camera over your left wing and check you six on the left side. At no time will you lose sight of the TV you are playing on.
Depending on how you play determines how gimmicky HT is. Arcade and Realistic players have a target camera. Sim players using a DS3 can map a stick to the camera view. Others, like me, use a flight stick and have to use the hat switch which only offers 90 degrees of movement. To me HT is an essential part of playing Sim and not a gimmick at all.
