I agree also.  I would rather have to hit a button on my thrustmaster to 
get the torso to recenter.  Aiming while fighting that spring in the 
joystick is just too tough.  I have reverted to aiming with the mouse 
(much more effective) and reprogrammed the mouse's center button to 
recenter the torso.

Cool, a cheat!!  Sorry, that was a most un-clan-like response...
