Limited head position in Malcolm Hood aircraft.

Since the last update adds yet another Malcolm hood equipped aircraft, I've again noticed that the head position in Malcolm hoods are limited in horizontal movement more than they should be, making them far less useful and removing one of their major perks IRL. The Spitfire MkIX, MkXIV, and P-51B-5 all have this issue, and it is very noticeable in the P-51 due to the ability to swap the canopies. 

 

As well as this the P-47D-22 has a strangely limited vertical movement. https://giant.gfycat.com/SpottedRealAtlasmoth.mp4

Here’s a recent post from one of the devs about aircraft with different canopy types, in the below comment about the new P51B/C:

 

1. Unfortunately, we can't have two sets of head movement restrictions for the same plane, so Malcolm Hood shares it's restrictions with the standart cockpit, thus, no leaning right

It's a shame for the 51, but at the very least they could fix the 2 Spitfires that have suffered from this for at least a year in 1 of their cases.
