why when you take off the straps you cant look back?

Exactly, it's perfectly possible to change the default center position so you can see the entire gunsight without going to shift-F1 view, regardless of whether you use headtracking or not.

If you use a head tracker:
1) Move your head a bit to the left (not turn, but move laterally)
2) Press your center key and return to your normal position in your chair
3) Since the tracker now thinks that center is to the left of where you're standing your actual position is to the right of that center and the whole view is shifted to the right.
4) You can now view the gunsight without going to shift-F1 view.

If you don't use a head tracker:
1) Enable mouselook (which in turn disables the mouse cursor for the clickable cockpit), default key to switch between the two mouse functions is F10.
2) Press the center view key.
3) Now that you're looking straight ahead, keep the right mouse button pressed and drag your mouse to the right. This shifts the entire viewpoint to the right, continue until the Revi is in sight and then release the right mouse button. I think that pressing the center view key doesn't reset this, so you can fly and fight perfectly fine once you adjust it.
4) Go ahead and shoot stuff down.

There's a load of options for things like this and in fact, the interface is one of the few features of the sim that the manual actually explains pretty well. Go ahead and read the manual people, sheesh

But please, pleeeaaaze, accept also that some complain about the current gunsight thing because your nice advices don't work. And I DID try them all.

I hope this will be changed in the coming patch.

It didn't? That's the first i've heard of it, it certainly works on my end.

In fact, i've been flying the 109 this way for the past month or so and it rocks: wide view for situational awareness and judging closing rates, lead, etc plus gunsight fully in view for getting the job done.

My accuracy went up about 10% after doing this.
