If we had a change for every tweak like this one...
Did you know there a players, like myself that can use both hands competently.
I fly with a MSFT FF2 stick in my right hand, a Kensington Expert Mouse (trackball that looks like a queball) on my left hand, and keyboard between.

I use the trackball for viewing. I have used it now since Il2 1.0. I click on the #2 button on my joystick or #5 on number pad to go front and center for targeting and I move my index and middle finger tips across the trackball (slight movements) and it moves my view very quickly and I can see as well as anyone using a TrackIR and I never have a stiff neck. I don't have to make sure I hold my head still or not move my head from side to side. I don't lose situational awareness, if I fly with the cockpit just like someone flying TrackIR. I like the trackball, because where I move my view... it stays until I move it.
You cannot use the mouse viewing and have the mouse clickble cockpits. In fact, in MSFT flight simulators (FSX) you either use the TrackIR or POV only. In the old CFS2 you could only use the POV. I don't remember if it is the same in CFS3 I put that "dog down" about a month after I bought it.
So, just because someone thinks it's a simple thing to just add some new thing like mouse clickable cockpits they should realize there are plenty of other people affected.
The most difficult part of flying as I do.. is learning to competently use your left hand. Actually, it isn't that difficult to do... not near as difficult as writing with your left hand. The human mind is amazing I was using the trackball very competently in a very short time.
