Great looking shots!

Were you able to find a way to pause the game, or were you just moving the camera around whilst flying?

The only way to pause the game is to hit Escape which brings up a menu.

Looking fine, like how the scratches on the windshield catch the sunlight

All the shots were taken without pausing. Sadly, the only pause is hitting escape to bring up the options menu. I did find a way to enable a new camera view called "Screenshot View." This lets you slide/pan/tilt the view around in the exterior view. (using the hat switch on the joystick, as well as clicking and holding the scroll wheel button on your mouse for sliding the camera)

To enable the new camera, do the following:

1. Go to C:\Users\"Your account username"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Flight
2. Open the Cameras.cfg file in notepad.
3. Scroll down to [CameraDefinition.013]
4. Near the bottom of the [CameraDefinition.013] entry, you will see "CycleHidden=Yes." On the left side of the word cycle, add two forward slashes. ( // )

It should look like this when you are done:

[CameraDefinition.013]
Title = $Screenshot View
Guid = {D225B9D0-95CB-4278-9A9D-ED4545743269}
Description = Enables camera displacement outside the aircraft for taking screenshots
Origin = Center
MomentumEffect = No
SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel
SnapPbhReturn = False
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel
PanPbhReturn = False
Track = None
ShowAxis = No
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 0.6
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ZoomPanScalar = 1.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Outside
PitchPanRate=30
HeadingPanRate=75
PanAcceleratorTime=0
ClipMode = Spot
UseSimVelocity = TRUE
//CycleHidden=Yes
XYZRate=5.0

Cool
