How to view from different angle?

I have seen a lot of pictures showing view the plane from different angle during flying, especially those from top down or from the back of the plane.

In FSX, I am sure it is not F9, F10, F11 nor F12.

So, which command did you use to view them?

Thank you.

Do you know how to get into spot, (outside) view? (It's either the A key or the S key. Just keep pressing the key to cycle through the views) Do you have a joystick? If so use the hat switch. If not press and hold the space bar. Then move the mouse. The view should move.

Another way is to right click the screen, where you will find quick links to all of the views.

Thank you for everyone reply.

I found the answer:

Press F11, hold the spacebar and move your mouse around

Thank you for all the help. Happy flying.

that's fine, but let's say the plane on the screen has the tail cut off and you want to move it forward, without moving back?

Whenever that happens for me, I just restart the sim and it's fixed.  Don't save the flight when you restart it, just start fresh.
