Views

C selects the next of three views: line of sight from the pilot box, chase from behind the plane, and FPV through its nose camera. The CAM line on the HUD shows the view. In line of sight, auto-zoom keeps the plane at a good size on the screen when it flies away. Z turns auto-zoom off and on.

Chase follows the plane

The view moves behind the plane and follows it. You see the area in front of the plane, and you also see the plane.
