Well one needs a good tow pilot then (with glider experience).
I would probably also want to install pedals in such a case, now I
only
have the twist of the joystick and that does not really match a
rudder
control via the feet for quick response during tow takeoff....

I have XP-Pro SP3 and I installed the drivers that came with the joystick.

Now that I have checked more carefully I have to change my earlier
statement about the view directions:
ALL hat directions are reversed!
And I am talking about looking out the window from the cockpit, are
there other vantage points to put oneself in????

That is what I am seeing and it is kind of weird to do....

What are "external views"???
