View options then 'No roll external view'
Just to clarify this:
You find this external view setting under Options > Preferences > View Options.
If you want external view
like it was in AH II, make sure the
No Roll External View option is
unchecked. This rolls the camera with your aircraft, which is a bit more like sitting in the cockpit; when you roll, your view rolls with you. Again, this was the default in AHII.
If you prefer external view to operate like some other games (i.e. WT), where the terrain remains level and your aircraft rolls relative to that view, then you want No Roll External View checked. This will likely be easier for players who learned to fly in external mode or in other games where that view is common, which is likely why the option (choice) was added to the game.
In either case, the camera is pointed in whatever direction you are looking, it just changes whether the camera rolls with your plane or does not roll and remains level with the terrain.
Hope this helps clarify the differences.
