how do you like your Yolk?

Hi A2A Pilots,
I might be the last one to perceive this, valid or not, but when I use the forward cockpit view and pan down slightly (with joystick hat switch), so that ONLY THE TOP HALF OF THE YOLK GRIP HANDLES show at the foot of the monitor/screen, THEN I get a significantly stronger impression of ME REALLY FLYING THE PLANE. For me, this is true for all planes e.g. the FAB T6, Comanche and C182.
When I pan further downwards and fly with the whole yolk and grip handles in view, then the strong impression goes away and, to my perception, appears that I'm just watching the plane (FLY ITSELF).
Pan too far up, so that you cant see anything of the grip handles, and the view feels rather monotonous.
Of course I pan down to operate controls, and pan left and right for visual awareness and enjoy the scenery e.g. the wonderful Orbx products.
I've not been smoking anything, honest (and its too early in the day for a pint or two or)!
