New Aircraft Camera Placement Options?

This would be a great way to simulate gun camera footage.

In some planes, if the cockpit was open, it could allow the pilot to "lean out" into the slipstream to better view the plane's engines, wings and fuselage.

It would also, with a bit of modification, allow simulation of periscope type gunsights, which were used with limited success on some early war aircraft (e.g., the first models of the B-25).

If IL2 had a realistic astronomy (i.e., positions of the sun and stars correct), this feature could also be reworked to allow celestial navigation.
