Using Active Camera, is it possible to get a shot as if you had a camera mounted under the plane (in one of the Super Cub demonstration videos, there is a shot from the side of the plane as if from one of the float struts...)

I think you can do that with any of the planes with 3D views. I did it a few times, and I think I went to the VC, and used the Shift+Enter, and Shift+Backspace, to go above and below the plane....I would have to check again to be absolutely sure that is how I did it, but am pretty sure that is how to do it....

Does anyone know how to get wingview with active camera?

Yes, but then you see a plane without any exterior (just the interior is rendered)...

Hmmmmmm dunno then maybe they do use active camera  ???

I belive that active camera has the same problem unless you are in the right mode...

It might be possible if you try changing the settings in active camera so that in vc mode it goes to external mode. using shift enter gets you outside the plane but only shows the vc which has been modeled, most modelers leave out the exterior model in order to increase fps and because they dont expect the pilot to move around outside the aircraft in that mode.
Hope that helps.  ;D

I saw a video of such a view...I suspect the author just got the angle right...
