The point is that you are worse off with Track IR. Using a hat-switch that automatically centers your forward view when you are not touching it is very simple and very reliable. Track IR is more complicated to use and set-up and it is just one more thing that can go wrong.
When you are learning anything in life you want to make it as simple as possible, that is why with IL2 I don't fly Mods or use Track IR, it is just me and the computer and one stick. Nothing to worry about and nothing to go wrong. In a fight I don't have to use anything but the stick and the base buttons, I only have to touch the keyboard for take-off, landing or some ground attack. My only use of the mouse is to work the gunner seats in bombers.
