I'm pretty sure that you should be able to adjust the sensitivity
(it's variable through the range of movement of the head) so that
looking to the apex takes a large change of head angle, and then
looking further to the side to see if a car is beside you takes a
smaller further angle change.

Freetrack (and TrackIR I expect) provide a graphical representation of
the response curve for each axis of movement. So yes, you can do
exactly what you decribe. You can also apply a dead zone so that you
get no movement in POV while your head is near straight ahead.

You can also turn off any axis completely. I'm set up for six degrees
of freedom right now. For racing I turn off roll and longitudinal
response. I've tried it with and without lateral and vertical
response. For serious racing I'd probably only use yaw and pitch
response with a large "soft" zone as Freetrack calls it, which is a
non-linear response curve like Bob described.

For flight sims you can turn all six axes on without much concern.
It's cool to be able to lean over and look downward out of the side
window. You can also sit up straighter and look down on the nose of
the plane.
