Is there a no cockpit or gun camera mod available anywhere?

[Mysticpuma]

I have for years created videos of flights Sims I have and currently I am looking at playing with BoX. One of the great features of virtually every sim I have played is a no cockpit view which makes getting some cool tracking shots, combat action and gun camera footage relatively easy. 

BoX however is a different kettle of fish! 

Now I appreciate (having read) that no cockpit is seen as a cheat but that is not the purpose of my question, I simply want a better tool (no cockpit) to be able to create a variety of shots that are not possible with the cockpit on. 

Simply put, if the concern is that it could be used to cheat online, is there anyway a mod could be created only to work with recordings in playback, so the cockpit can be disabled. This would mean the mod would onky work offline (or if possible only be used in Single Player)? 

 

Any help, tips, fixes or workarounds would be greatly appreciated to get a no cockpit view for movie. Cheers, Mysticpuma ?

There are a few cams you can use by cycling them with alt + F2 , one comes very close to what you are describing, positioned where I imagine a guncam would be.

Keep in mind you need to have either external cameras enabled, or watch a replay for it to work.

 

Also, this one really bothers me, you can not use the alt + F2 cams while in a replay of a coop!

Unrelated to the original point but regarding cameras. If I hit F8, it padlocks an aircraft, internal or external (another reason to remove the cockpit). 

So in external view if I padlock an enemy, then zoom in, it centres on the enemy. My aircraft (apart from the cockpit) drops off the bottom of the screen. I have looked for a way to move the camera position so that my aircraft is more centered but I can see the enemy but I just can move the camera position from the stock position. 

I have seen options for the A, S, W, D, keys, S, W zoom in or out, A and D though do nothing. Is there a way of recentering the camera, manually moving it to recompose the shot when in Padlock view? I just can't find a camera option? 

 

Anyway, not the priority of the thread just adding it to the conversation ?

Oh I have the same problem, the view is locked in Padlocked 3rd person!
My personal workaround is to use the F2 free cam, you can move the mouse to move around and shift + mouse moving to turn the cameras direction. Then I track the enemy manually. Not the best solution, but it works.
