I think it has merit. Sort of like an 'intelligent auto-head-tracking' mode.
The thing is, following a target with your eyes and moving your head in the direction you're turning is all natural and requires no thought. You wouldn't use a tiny HAT switch in real life to move your head or view in a cockpit

I would like to have something like that as an option. I think old-school simmers will say different though...

I think it would piss me off. Not because it isn't "hardcore sim", but it would just be plain annoying to me.

If we had head tracking in the game then your comment would make some sense.

I do use the hat switch. Hat switches are annoying. And not very sim. Do real pilots use a hat switch?

Well to be fare, it IS A GAME! Your not a real pilot (I mean in game, I dunno about real life?), so turning your head around without a hat switch is just an aid. If you didn't then you'd just be looking forward the whole time, unknowing if you had an enemy coming down on you etc. So the hat switch is just an AID since it is a GAME! and not real life. If it was real life, you wouldn't be flying the way you do in the game, it would probably be a lot more complicated depending on the mixture switch/button, throttle, ailerons, elevators, rudder etc. etc.

The hat switch is a representation of your head, therefore when you move around your hat switch while flying, you are moving your head's avatar in the game. I bet its hard for you to talk and chew bubble gun at the same time too.

Actually YES real pilots DO use a hat switch. Albiet its a simpler design, and used for a selector on the stick and has nothing to do with moving their head.

Why would a hat switch in a real life move your head?
And when did I say real pilots don't use a hat switch?

P.S Read/think then type please.
