How can I get an external view like FSX/P3D has?

Recommended Posts

It is hard to explain, but the existing external view (S key) looks slightly off. Is there a way to get an external view like with what we have in p3d and FSX? The sim almost looks stretched and distorted (especially when you zoom out) in MSFS.

This is my greatest complaint with MSFS. When I use the sim, I like to switch between the virtual cockpit view and what was spot view in FSX and P3d. But in MSFS, the external camera view is focused too close to the aircraft, so when you zoom out to a more comfortable distance, the overall scene is distorted as though viewed through a fisheye lens. There have been notations in release notes that the capability to adjust this is available or will be, but I have yet to see any confirmation of how this is done. This defect detracts greatly from my enjoyment of MSFS.

You can use the drone, but It's a bit more of a PITA to use.
