How can i move my view point on my planes i have seen flight videos where they have a view just to the right of the cockpit on fast jets it looks really cool is there any way can move your viewpoint .

The easiest way is to use your hatswitch on your flightstick.
You can also use your Num Pad by holding down either of the following keys:
4 - 6 - 7 - 9 - 1 - 3. Depending on the a/c sometimes the keys 5 or 2 can also be used. Make sure the Num Lock is on. 😉

To get external views, press the "S" key three times:
The first one gives you the viritual cockpit.
The second one gives you the "Tower" view.
The third one gives you the external view of the plane-- use the number keys or hat switch to move the view around, and - or + to zoom in and out.
The fourth press of the S brings you back inside the cockpit.

You can also try F1view.
With a compination of mouse CTRL and SHIFT you can see your craft for more different angles than the defaults FS.(of course after hittin S key)

Give a try ➡
