Preventing head turn when pulling up Side Menu's

I am playing on 3 monitors and enjoy the additional peripheral vision. One thing that I find myself wishing is that the side menu's or ship systems would pull up on my side monitors instead of my head turning so that they are in the center monitor. When this happens I lose vision out the front of the cockpit. Is there a way to prevent the camera from automatically turning when pulling up these systems/menu's?

None that I know. You can also pull up the menu by turning the camera itself, but it wouldn't solve your problem I guess... Don't you have vision yo the front on the opposite screen though ?
 
Three screens is the way to go imo.
I've been thikning the same thing about the popup panels. If there is a way to fix this I'll buy meself a TrackIR. :D

I have 3 screens and also headlook, it did not really bother me that much but since I purchased voice attack and combined it with KICS by Ripley Galactic, it works very well, I just say the target panel and even in headlook mode it will turn my head to the menu locking the headlook, when I say close target tab the tab closes and headlook resumes for me its better so I dont have to look at a certain angle from when I was getting neck ache.

Yes there is. Bear in mind I use TrackIR, so not sure if this will work without.

There is an option in Graphic options to stop that, I cannot remember what it's called now though. Something to do with Focus and GUI as far as I remember (not sure though, it may be something else!)

I have a certain button assigned to UI Focus on my joystick and using that I can permanently turn on/off the side panels and still look around the cockpit with TrackIR.

Not sure if it works the same way without head tracking though. I can provide more info when I'm back home - if you want me to look into this, please drop me a PM. My memory is not what is used to be.
 
there is an option to to stop the head motion when activating the side menus, but they open up too low, so you still need head look or something like trackir to be able to see them anyway.

You look away from forward view to look at panels. It's by game design.

It just means you don't get an advantage over players without 3 screens (or ultra wide) .
