I fly the F-15 pretty much exclusively in this sim and one thing that's really bugged me is the lack of true 360 deg view. Namely- the inability to look backward. Now, I've talked to F-15 pilots who say, "Sure I can," and I've seen the Youtube videos of pilots twisting around and looking over their shoulders. I've even sat in an F-15 cockpit and, tho I wasn't strapped in, twisted around and could see around the head rest and between the tails.

So why can't I do this in the sim? I thought. But then I saw, yep, Youtube vids of guys flying F-15Cs in LOMAC looking back over the seat and between the tails. I've been all over the option menus but haven't found anything. How's it work?

Thanks in advance!

I'm talking about in those youtube vids where the player/pilot is looking around in a dogfight and looks back over his seat to spot a MiG or other jet.
