Here's an enhancement for another aircraft available in the Netwings section of the Warbirds Library.
In the xdp file you can replace the pilot view section with these lines, to provide a way to do photo-recon missions.

Using the F6 key you can cycle to the Photographer seat, then hit F3 to hide the cockpit interior. You then can use the Num Pad or joystick hat switch to select between horizontal, oblique or vertical views through the port side camera openings. (Straight down on the hat switch or the num pad 2 key will let you check six). The default is the 45 degree port side oblique camera view.
The rear view mirror seat has now been locked on your six to prevent the corrupted views you use to get from activating the hat switch when in this seat as well.
In the xdp file you can replace the pilot view section with these lines, to provide a way to do photo-recon missions.
