Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2009 7:54 pmWhat I believe you're describing not just a view, but also "slew mode". To get the view, right-click on any part of the screen, then choose Select View-->Top Down. Then press "Y" and you will have entered slew mode. To exit slew, simply press "Y" again. F1-F4 controls movement up and down.

Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2009 8:50 pmim not sure if it is what i think it is, but it sounds like "pan (look) using the mouse). If it is... i have no clue what the command is for it.
what i do know however, is if you are in 2d cockpit mode, you can hit SHIFT+(arrows) to look around. UP=forward, DOWN=to the rear of the cabin/back of plane, RIGHT=right, LEFT=left.
it wont turn your --> to a + , but you can look around.
also, if you press "S" 3 times, you will enter SPOT VIEW / External view. ..... from here, SHIFT+Arrows will make you look around your aircraft, while your craft is centered in the field of view.

Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 12:51 pmHold Down Space Bar? I've Tried it and it doesn't seem to work. And i have seen youtube videos of people using the little "+" to move around the view on FS2004.I think what you're talking about is something found in FSX, not FS2004.

Posted: Wed Jul 15, 2009 1:58 pmMaybe your thinking of F1veiw utility http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library it allows you to pan around using the mouse, I tried it a few years back and really didnt like it, however in David Maltby's planes (which are amazingly good 8-)) they come with a similar utility built in and it works great. just google his name and you should be able to find his site..............better yet.........Trackir ;)
