> The way it currently works doesn't really make sense

And yet, sim players are using it. Players want to use small headmovements to simulate large head movements ingame. It seems to work.

Wouldn't it be much more convenient then to buy a VR headset which actually follows your head movements because it's physically head mounted? Not to mention that it provides a stereoscopic view of the scenery. I guess the price is a hurdle.

		I have a VR headset and still prefer head tracking. It's more comfortable, and becomes second nature after an hour or two of use.
