Can a certain camera placement/angle/view be set up as a kind of default view for a pop up window? i.e, where some A/C have certain views that can be brought up, can one of those somehow be assigned to a pop up window?

I've seen it done, but the problem lies in that the window is essentially another full render of the FS environment.  Which means your machine is now running FS nearly twice as rich in memory and processor capacity.  Most machines won't handle that too well.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Hmmm, I seem to recall a Russian airliner (FS9 I think) released a while back that had this feature - I downloaded it at the time but have no idea where it is now. Anybody else out there remember this?

There's another option too: use the left square bracket key ([) to open another window, which by default is the cockpit without the panel showing.

Check out the periscope in the FS9 Spirit of Saint Louis...

This uses an XML gauge that renders a view on a drawing surface, creating the illusion of having a camera monitor.
