looking directly ahead through the gunsight there are a certain number of views. each one is adjustable and can be saved to a different position. it does a good job simulating the pilot rapidly changing his point of view by moving his head around the cockpit to perhaps look forward along each side of the nose or through the gunsight.

akwabbit is incorrect

4:
Default
forward hat
forward right
forward left

5 if you include forward-up too.
But you cannot see the gunsight with that one.

Wait,

I know the answer.

The P-38 is porked! It's unfair, I demand a recount. Blah, Blah, Blah......

f4udoa is incorrect. in fact f4udoa's callsign is also incorrect.
f4UDOA needs a name change to F4UDUI

Hmm lets see,

Forward Zoom
Forward Left
Forward Left Zoom
Forward Right
Forward Right Zoom
Forward Up
Forward Up Zoom
Forward Down
Forward Down Zoom
Forward Down Left
Forward Down Left Zoom
Forward Down Right
Forward Down Right Zoom
Forward Up Left
Forward Up Left Zoom
Forward Up Right
Forward Up Right Zoom

And for buffs? Include Forward gun position in all the above positions.

And Upper turret for all the above

And Lower turret for all the above

And Bombadier position in both normal and zoom mode.

Answer? 74 forward view positions.

And no doubt, I've left out a few others
