Offset view badly needed — feature request

Just got this unit a couple days ago.  Terrific potential and I really like it.  Coming from Skytrak and seem to be getting very accurate data — convenience of all in one package, and overall speed of the unit, is next level.  Unless I am missing it, however, there is no way to offset the view where a sim setup has the golfer hitting from anywhere other than centered with the projector.  This is a major problem, given that a high percentage of home builds are in this situation due to space restrictions.  Angling the unit toward the center of the screen does not work correctly because the optics are still wrong on a course or the range.  Hopefully they can get this sorted quickly because I’m afraid it will be a deal breaker for many.  It really destroys the simulation experience if you cannot aim toward what you are seeing on the screen. I believe most if not all of the other higher end monitors have this functionality.  Otherwise this is an incredible device.
