Sorry to open this up again, but I really did like the old rear view back along the body of the plane, much better than the standard BF2 chase view. Also went some way to make up for the lack of situational awareness. I'm assuming we can't show functional rear view mirrors on canopy frames as in a real jet.
As well as the normal forward view showing the nose of the plane, a look up view from there (like you can get in vBF2 with mouselook when you look up)would also be very useful when dogfighting, as you are usually pulling up back on the stick and looking up out of the canopy trying to keep the other jet in sight. This would be more useful than side views in my opinion (these may be of more use for choppers). Shame we can't have full joystick hat controlled mouselook functionality and keep control of the plane at the same time..........
