What if my aircraft is the outside position, but I want to turn the camera so that I can see what's behind me, for example.  The problem is that I can't do anything but look at the aircraft.

I took the shell off my racing snail, thinking it would make him run faster. If anything, that made him more sluggish.

That would be terrible as I would have to modify that aircraft's ChasePlanes to match to departure/destination points.  I just want to quickly the camera to look at anything.  It used to be easy on previous versions.

I'm a little confused by your wording, but are you asking if you can create a tail cam that points to the six o'clock position? If so, it sounds like you have Track Camera turned on in your ChasePlane view.

Your description of what I want is more complicated than what I need:

I just want to be standing somewhere and be able to look at something other my aircraft.  I might need to be 'attached' to my aircraft - I want to be able to look at the virtual aircraft door, or to the control panel.  I just want to look anywhere from an outside position.

Well, if the OUTSIDE position is the locked spot you can just pan. It doesn't get any easier. If you have dedicated cameras set up for various outside views that would be different depending on how you have set up the panning. 

 

But panning is the opnly way you are going to be able to move around and look unless, as Alex said, you want to c rteate a dedicated camera.

The only place I can look from outside the plane, is the plane! If I set ChasePlane to be outside the plane and be looking from outside the plane, I can only look forward, so I can see the plane.  I can't say that I want to be behind the plane but take on a 90° view.

May sound snarky but i would start with reading the chase plane manual.

Firstly it would have helped  if you had said you was using Chaseplane in your OP and or in the title.

Secondly, with Chaseplane you can set any view and angle you wish from an outside view

You need to learn how to use the program. Read the manual like Joe said.
