Freelook?

Is it possible to freelook (ie, with the mouse) while in the cockpit view? I know I can push shift+numpad to look directly left, right, forward, backwards etc, but I would prefer to smoothly look around in all directions. Is this possible?

You can get a "smooth look" but you have to use a joy stick with a 8 way view HAT switch. Most well equipped joy sticks have this feature. Don't think it's possible with the mouse.

I pan my view in the virtual cockpit with the roller on my mouse, but im not sure if you need active camera for that to work

Get F1View available here: http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library

- This small module installs into FS2004 and supplies simple mouse-based movements, panning, and more, using the center mouse wheel/button. You can also move past the default view limits of FS2004 (good for strolling through virtual cabins). After you download, please make sure you read the full instructions included.
