Yes, but then you can't look out of the left window anymore...

You got me on that one
. But as how normal camera changes relative position when looking aside it can also be implemented so that when looking at side windows the camera lowers itself

Yes, that might be possible. Unfortunately this is code outside of my scope but we've had a similar idea in the past and it's somewhere on the long todo list.

Thanks alot, I don't know much about codes but I've explain the situation to chat gpt and submit part of your code and this was a result

Manually changing the existing files is not recommended and is also not possible on mobile. On PC please see the other thread for how to add custom cameras. I uploaded example files and how to install them there. Please use the forum search function...

The R0 is a position vector in meters fwd/left/up for x, y and z respectively. The suggested R0 vector would be inside the fuselage because the y component is not far enough from zero.
Direction is a normalized direction vector with x fwd, y left, z up.
The suggested vector of 0 0 -1 would face straight down, not adjusted to the left at all.
ChatGPT just isn't capable of such things yet...
