Short answer. You can't.

The movement of the pilots head is modelled as part of the aircraft...

It's all in the model.  Kirk Olsson's F-16 has it i believe when you use rudder.  So there's no way to make it move unless you would edit the model into an animation.

I had a light aircraft where the pilot clearly looked around, up and down etc...

I'll see if I can find it and come back.

I think the pilot in the Chippy looks around...  I think?  Maybe?  Perhaps?   :)

Put a mirror on top of your monitor...
Then, as you fly around, move your head and watch it in the mirror...!
Works a treat...!
I do it all the time....

And the advantage is you probably have a lot of mirror pieces so you have an all around view!

(Not to say that a mirror would shatter .....
