It is modelled in Lockon, so we have to accept it as it is.
Yes, it is. In fact, what I was asking for is some sort of an enhanced, smarter, padlock option (of course it could be disabled) that automatically points your head to the nearest fighter / incoming missile, etc... I know there are people who, when dogfighting, end up by using F5 to locate enemies using external view, because doing it trough POV on joystick is absolutely a pain.

The current situation is like we were a real pilot sitting on a cockpit under an opaque canopy, and having only one little transparent, glass window in it that must be moved around using a switch on its HOTAS. Realistic? I don't think so.

The same think applies to the HMS system. If it were slaved to this kind of padlock, I think it would show the real advantage it offers, not as now.

Best regards,
