No, and in my HO this is the only proper way to do it. Like X-Plane
does.

And using head tracking to expand FOV, I think the only solution is to
keep the monitor always in front of the pilots head.
You should be able to construct something like a big X-Y table, but then
like half a circle with a monitor moving along side of it.
Hmm, bit hard to explane. At one our our customers they have an
apparatus which resembles this
(http://www.tm.tno.nl/research/perception.html)
Look a the picture in the top left and imagine not a speaker, but a
monitor on the beam. Makes sense? That way you could always put the
monitor there where the pilot looks, but I guess it wouldn't work
because of the latency involved (the repositioning of the monitor has to
be damned fast)

Again, better to wait for the proper support to do this.
