Wishlist and Can One?

There are various posts about what users would like the sim to do, eventually.
I couldn't find a Wishlist for the sim in its current state, so thought I'd start a thread which lists things which would be nice to see in the short term.
Here's one:
Flying in spotview, can one move the viewpoint around easily? (i.e. Not by zooming)

Yes I didn't phrase that very well...
I don't know if there is the ability in spotview to change the viewpoint distance from the aircraft?
It's such an important function when framing a screenshot.

OK thank you, didn't know if I had overlooked something obvious.

That thread is 134 pages long now and still growing.

Wasn't aware of that forum, not being a Steamer myself!
My apologies, as a latecomer I didn't mean to reinvent the wheel.

It would be nice to have this feature right now, while we wait for the bigger developments like ATC.
Perhaps a 3rd party will rise to the occasion, the way DBS did with Walk + Follow.

Yes the zoom is of limited value I find, in spot view, as it zooms the entire visible area.
You need to be able to set the viewing distance as well.
Setting the viewpoint closer or further from the aircraft, allows one for example, to use a more "normal" 1x zoom, move back, and view the whole aircraft without distortion.
Let me illustrate this with a shot from FS2004:

Or, you can come up close, zoom to a wide angle, and frame the picture the way you want it.

If you have this capability, the "camera presets" presently used, become superfluous.

Photographers will understand the necessity.
I find it frustrating in a sim which is mostly visual, not to be able to compose a screenshot the way I'd like.
