Thread bump.

I gave this idea another go. I am close to getting my desired result, but there's still a problem.
I made this video explaining the problem:

That was my exact thought too; it seems to me that when using the F9 button to switch the cameras, both use the 1st person mesh for the plane.

Am I just going to have to use a 3rd person mesh for the internal cockpit? This might make everything look uglier.

This is what it looks like after changing the 1p mesh to the 3p mesh:

(Second F9 cam, outside cockpit)

I don't think there's a way to make the first F9 camera use the 1P mesh and have the second F9 cam use the 3P mesh, it's one or the other. So with some tweaking for the camera positions, I might be able to work around this problem.
