@Devs: proposal to change behavior of "mouse look"

Hello,

I don't have TrackIR or an Occulus so the only way for me to look around the cockpit is to use my mouse. I did set my controls to "mouselook on hold key" and i can look around whenever i press the thumb key on my mouse.
The problem is when I am in a dogfight and start to look around my ship will loose its direction it was turning to before I used mouselook.

Can we have an option that says something like "keep initial direction of movement/turning when mouselook activated" and also an option that allows us to center view after mouselook with our own keybind instead of centering the view on release of mouselook button? I want to be able to steer when I release the mouselook-button but at same time keep my head/view-position. Another key-bind like "double click thumb-mouse-button" could then center the view again.

(sry for my bad english but I hope you get what I mean)

edit: Also it's a request and not a proposal i believe but that doesn't matter

It does this for me already.

Maybe they could add a mode where it returns to centre when you release the mouse (from what I recall they have quite a bit of flexibility in the control assignments)

For example, I just use the mouse to look around and control the map, with a button 1 click returning to centre, and use a key hold with a HAT in the joystick to go to specific panels, with the hat also navigating the panels (with a few joystick buttons) when in this focus.

The only issue I have is a super-soft form of vertigo, where I lose all track of where I am travelling sometimes, and where something was, but by aligning the look direction to the cockpit roof, and moving the mouse and joystick together you bring something into view it can usually limit these issues.
