Re: Turret point of view
I simulated a rescue mission using the Gunny's Kodiak map flying on my P.166. I placed a looking-down viewpoint in the radar's radome, and then I placed some text and a crossair. Selecting the simple HUD, I was able to do this

The problem is that either I focus on flying or photographing targets. I thought a possible rescue/patrolling mission could be done by flying over the checkpoint, setting circle autopilot and then switching to patrol camera taking pictures, then switching back and return to base. But I really need that crosshair to follow the viewpoint, or I won't be able to correctly simulate the camera.

Re: Turret point of view
I fly with the mouse...aragorn15 wrote:Go to "Option" then "Joystick/Key Assignments". Set the "Point of view Y (-+ 90) and the Point of view X (-+ 180) as Mouse Y Axis and Mouse X Axis, respectively. This will let you move the camera with the mouse. Obviously, you need a joystick for this to work (some idiot was going to complain ). Now, set the turret (camera, as it were) to something like the arrow keys. That should give you the effect you are looking for, but sadly would be limited to those who use a joystick or keyboard to fly.
