There currently isn't direct support because the FS2004 view control interface is unknown. Support FreeTrack

Have a look at the 'Joystick emulation' section in the manual. http://freetrack.online.fr/fichiers/manuel2eng.pdf Support FreeTrack

Sorry to be a pain, I did read the Joystick emulation section in the manual, but it didn't say what it works with (a joystick, the LED head set) Thanks in advance Nick

Freetrack is a head tracking program, it tracks head movements and outputs data in a variety of forms so that other applications can use it. The data can be sent to the mouse, to a virtual joystick and to games directly through a special interface. The latter is preferred, but since FS2004 doesn't support it, you have to use a virtual joystick as a go-between. Sorry, I'll try and be a little more ambiguous... I mean, disambiguous next time.
