A small but funny keymap thing. Anyone else notice this?

[Jodet]

My joystick has a hat mapped to 'kp8, kp2, kp4, kp6'.     This is so I can look up and down and left and right. 

 

When I'm in the cockpit it works fine. 

 

When I go to F2 'outside view of your plane' the hat buttons no longer work.    If I use the keyboard kp8, 6, 4,2, it works fine.   So IL2 knows when I'm in my cockpit that the hat is mapped but when I'm in the outside view the hat won't work, but the keyboard will. 

 

Weird.   It's a small thing but I'd rather it worked.    Anyone else notice this?   Any suggestions?

Never tried that, as it never seemed to have worked, and mousing does that job .... but i would like a hat for that..
