F7: Precision moving (basically reduces the gradients of the curves)
F8: Profile (whatever this is. But having tried it it does not work as blackdog described)
F9: Pause button
F12: Re-centre (back to initial centre)
I don't have further possibilities to edit hotkeys with the TrackIR software (I use TrackIR 5 software with TrackIR4 hardware)
These are default settings.
Maybe what blackdog describes works with TrackIR5. This I cannot judge. I have TrackIR4 like so many others and it does not work.
EDIT: No, Manu, also pressing F12 in the way as blackdog described it, does not work. It just puts me back to the default centre position.
And even if it did work: everytime I would look around I would have to repeat this manoeuvre as every looking around slightly shifts the centre to some arbitrary position. So definitely not a good solution.
I however support blackdog that the Ju88 gun sight should be fixed. They may fix the other gunsights at the same time. It should not need much programming.

Ah, i see where the confusion is coming from, it's the bolded part. Well, F12 doesn't return to the
original center, it makes your current head position the
new center position and centers the in-game view.
In other words, it enables you to
move the default center position towards one direction, so that your default in-game view will move to the opposite one.
It worked with my trackIR4 on both trackIR4 and trackIR5 software and it works with freetrack that i'm currently using.
Have a look at this image:
I've used this for ages in pretty much every sim that i had which supported 6DoF. You can center left to shift your default view right and keep the gunsight in view, you can center low to shift the default view up and see over the nose during a landing approach, you can center high to shift the default view down and keep the instruments in sight, you can center to one side to shift the default view to the other if you want to look out the side of the nose during taxi and take-off.
It only takes 5 seconds to do it before take off.
It works.
