Default Flaps on take-off and landing

Trouble with this is that you now have to look at the screen out the corner
of your eye, since the monitor doesn't move. Multiple monitors would help.

It lets you look out the side window of the sim aircraft by
turning your head to the side. The device tracks your head
motion to the side then slews the screen display to show the
side view instead of the view straight out over the nose of
the aircraft. In a real landing, you are often looking out
the side to check your position relative to the runway. In
a sim, it's harder to do that. You can hit a key to show a
side view, but it doesn't feel as realistic as just turning
your head.

Do not spin this aircraft. If the aircraft does enter a spin it will
return to earth without further attention on the part of the aeronaut.
