We all know of the infamous camera 5, for most planes it's just a drone fpv cam that is pretty unappealling. My suggestion is to replace that with an externally mounted camera that is in front/on top of the cockpit. This would have part of the front of the place visible, yet still give the feeling of the cockpit view.

Pros: Easy to code in (js move the camera spot to somewhere near the front of the plane) would make up for most planes not having cockpit cams

Cons: Potential view obstruction for racers (deal with it)

Something like the car hood cam POV's but for planes

NOTE: THIS WOULD ONLY APPLY TO PLANES THAT DON'T ALREADY HAVE A COCKPIT

This would be a nice alternative to having just the front view with a HUD for those planes without drone cams or cockpits

The only time the current HUD works is in a drone

#

This would be very cool

YES
This and wing views we need

#

We have wing view I think

#

It’s either 7,8 or 9

#

Maybe 0

#

Nah, the only way to get wing view is by using camera 1 and zooming in

Doable, just put the entire nose in a viewport

Avoids floating point problem that way

That's external wing view, I'm talking about internal
