Well yeah, that did cross my mind as I typed that last post out. Modern aircraft do have HUD elements that are projected onto the pilot's visor... What you're not considering though is that all aircraft with some form of fixed armament need to have a static cross hair. A cross hair that tracks the position of your head would only be viable if the cannon is capable of unrestricted movement. I believe this is how gunships function.

I digress massively, though

If this is indeed the intended design it needs to be made believable, and what I mean by that is that the targeting interface should remain in the middle of your screen as you mouselook around the cockpit. Who knows, maybe it already does.
