Hi Tomcat, yes this works, unfortunately I use TRACKIR (I can not fly without it) but, my TRACKIR is without 6DOF.

The solution you mentioned I tried already, unfortunately as soon as I activate TRACKIR, everything is centered the wrong way again
ROF has a better soution, I was told, you do as you mentioned above, then press a key and the game uses your current view as the future "centered" view, a solution much more flexible and forward-thinking than what CoD has to offer today.

History tells us that it was quite an effective tactic ( Downing 6 of them that way can hardly be luck ), and there are more quotes I can dig up which state the same.
Look Sven, the day you find me the quote that says that the Bf109 was an "angles-fighter" than an "energy-fighter", give me the name of that guy who wrote it and I will send him a list of some good psychiatrists I know of... enough said.

Your comments remind me of that famous story of the P-47 pilot who out-turned a Bf109 yes he did but this does not prove that the P-47 was turning better than the Bf109.
You can always turn better than another fighter; if your guns damage the other plane enough to give you advantage for what will follow subsequently you are fine; if not you are dead.

After all, what are discussing about?
The fact that the Bf109 turned better than the Spit as you claim was short lived and it was because "This advantage to the Bf 109 soon changed when improved Spitfires were delivered." Since the Spitfire did not really change form I presume he means that the Spits with better engine performance (engine or propeller) came???
I do not know what Leykauf is trying to make as point, the Bf was not a better turner than the Spit, he was entering the fight at the best turning speed (for tightest turn) and full throttle, losing his whole energy within seconds, easing the stick to gain some speed and pulled the max turn once more.
Unless he was flying a JU-87, he would have turned better against any plane turning at its constant rate of turn...
Like this, you can outurn a Zero flying a Wildcat; for how long, don't ask
