I know it's been beaten to death but I can't seem to get it to work.
Skoker posted a big block of text to put in the Aircraft.cfg file, but that didn't work, I've tried numerous freeware programs all to no success.

What I want to do is "roll" the view, like in this shot:

I am using 3 possibilities:

1) select a fixed external view (e.g. wing view), move the camera position with the following keys:
shift + backspace; shift + enter
ctrl + backspace; ctrl + enter
shift + ctrl + backspace; shift + ctrl + enter
move the direction of view with the hat or mouse view

2) If you have track-ir you can get a nice agle in addition
activate track IR, tilt the head sideways, pause track ir and move the camera position as above

3) record an aircraft with fs recorder, after recording go to a view where you have no cockpit or aircraft parts in the way; fly so that you have a nice angle to the landscape; select slew mode; run the previously recorde aircraft as traffic and slew to a position from which you have a nice view on the recorded aircraft; pause and take a picture.

Hope that helps
Kind regards
Manuel
