In order to move your view position ( to look over the side of the aircraft for instance)you need to keep pressing the key (I have it mapped to my joystick) Is there a way to be able to press and hold the key instead of having to tap it over in small increments ?

Yikes!
Run, don't walk, and get a TrackIR sir.
Once you give it a try you will wonder how you were flying without it.

As to your original question I haven't touched View keys in years - hopefully someone can give you a steer until your package arrives.

I have Track IR (v3 I think)
Just don't like all the rocking back and forth left and right.
Every once in a long while I dig it out and try it again with same result.
I like to sit back and play in a relaxed stance.

If they ever come out with eye tracking instead of head tracking I would be on it smile
Eye tracking would be completely natural.

What's that saying?

Have fun, bud.

EDIT: Now I think about it, I'm not sure if that'll work with WOFF. Nevermind.

It's only a matter of adjusting the smootheness and settings in the TrackIR menu. You should play around a bit more with it. Give it a try. If smoothness is deactivated completely, you will rock around a lot. You can also set dead or slower zone etc.

Has anyone tried Steel Series Sentry with a flight sim ?

Devs, do you think it might work with WOFF ?

Good point.
Yea get a profile (there are plenty around) and try a couple till you find one you like.

Yes, you can set joystick buttons to repeat. Set the repeat here ...
