We all love wing views and some of us simply don't fly any aircraft that do not have wing views...I simply love to see the big wing over sky or during approach...one of the big reasons why I always get a window seat when I travel to see my family in the Dominican Republic.
Anyway i'll begin by showing a beautifull livery I love to fly and the one I will use to demonstrate the wings viewes I achived by adding some commands to the panel.cfg of the SGA DC-10-30 panel...this commands can be added to any panel and should show wing views for any DC-10-30 model version.
SGA DC-10-30 JAS (Japan Air System) at runway 35 (MDSD)

So you have this nice DC-10-30 you want to fly but unfortunately all you have is 2 views and they are obstructed by default any way so how can you even enjoy them? well instead of 2 views you can have 6! YES 6 views! And you wont even have to mess around with the eyepoint in the aircraft.cfg, only panel.cfg =)
After studying the FS9 Panel SDK I was able to create the following views for the beautifull SGA DC-10-30;
Left Wing View - NUMPAD 4

Right Wing View - NUMPAD 6

NOW for a view some aren't used to seeing but which looks very cool during cruise flight!
Foward Left Wing View - NUMPAD 7

Foward Right Wing View - NUMPAD 9
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/User_files/408487865594beac.jpg
And the ones you usually get by DEFAULT but I fixed these up at the center and with just enough zoom for an expectacular turbine view, looks sweet during cruise also!
Rear Left Wing View - NUMPAD 1

Rear Right Wing View - NUMPAD 3
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/User_files/4084883056286627.jpg
I hope you like them! So how do they look in ACTION!!!? Let's see =)
I turn on all 3 engines and start rolling off from runway 35 to do a pattern...visibility is bad at MDSD when I was doing this and there happens to be no ILS for runway 35...so you have to be an FS PRO to manually bring this bird down with no visibility manually!
Airborne and climbing to FL038 for the pattern, I told ya bad weather...just look at those clouds!

Looking back at MDSD on the rear right wing view...awsome =) MDSD is on the peninsula you see there, kind of hard to make up cause of the clouds.

Its time to land the birty, switched to manual control got clearance to land visual runway 35.....visibility super poor!

Touch down...right on the money, right on the center line, right on the correct pitch angle...this is how the PROs do it =P
Foward left wing view here...at touch down
http://www.flightsim.com/dcforum/User_files/40848a29579429b5.jpg
And Right wing view......the most popular.

I am planning to release an archive on flightsim.com that let's you add these views to your panel.cfg so that you can enjoy your long flights and have atleast something to look at...you'll find yourself "inside" the plane more rather then "spotview".
Let me know what you all think, should I release it on flightsim.com or not?
Anyway, I hope you liked the pics and the wing views...hopefully you guys can enjoy these real soon! =)
