virtual cockpit in FSX

Hi all,

I have a multi monitor setup for FSX with the instruments on a separate monitor about 20 degree lower from my viewpoint. I cannot configure TIR to center with pitch 20 deg down. In FSX this is done in the saved flight file. But TIR seems to overrule these settings. Maybe in the aircraft.cfg files?
I would like to have my view rotations in real, with monitors around me I have a FOV of 225 deg. so in TIR I disable the tilt rotate and yaw. But to look around the parts of the plane to see an airstrip e.g. one would normally shift the head sideways, resulting in sideways shift of the window frame out of the desired line of view( opposit to the head shift) and the outside view would not move. Now this can virtually be simulated I think by shifting the outside view in the same direction and distance as your head. And with a multi-pc setup preferably via FSUIPC simultanious on the other views.
I would like to discuss with anyone having the same kind of setup.

As I thought it over a bit longer the effect I want should be possible if the sideways shift of the head is resulting in horizontal rotation, and vertical shift is translated as a pitch change.
For the second preferably with an offset to allow for displays with the center not ON the horizon.

Another addendum: the sidways shift with the head to the left should result in a frontview image rotating to left, the view 90 deg left shifting to the front( zooming in looking at the left wing tip) and the frontleft 45 deg view a combination ( resulting vector) of these two.
If TIR pro uses a keyboardhook to change the view in FSX, maybe changing the FSX keyboard assignments for those view changings will give these effects.

P.S. anyone sugestions? . . . . .
anyone reading this? . . . .

The software isn't using a keyboard hook to achieve it.
