Is that a default fsx command or is that using active camera?

There's an application called 'Wheelmouse'  that's a freebie here at SimV.  Once you install it, all you need do is hold the mouse wheel down and you can pan around the cockpit as you wish...

To move around (not just pan) you can use the default 'eyepoint' key combo's. Check in the Kneeboard>Keys-View Commands.

There is a utility at http://www.simviation.com/fsxutilities1.htm: FSX Wheelcam 2.4

There is also DBS Walk&Follow FSX-payware.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
