Most of the time, you film the section you might want (alt-R) and offline you can more easily position the camera (the view) to the exact angle you want.

Alt-S is the screen shot command, normally used offline as online you cannot view exterior of aircraft unless you're in a buff.

if u bring up the game off ine to view a skin you cango to f3 mode for out side view,then hit z for zoom ad use the - + to zoom in or out closer.also use f8  and u can using the hat key or numbers key pad move aroundthe aircraft.
  alt s is for scren shot and alt r is for flim
then u can fid the picture in your aces high folder in photoshop oe psp or what ever and adjust them how u want,if u want

Even easier just hit the "Print Scrn" key, then paste into your editor.

My assumption is that the views of diving planes and such could be taken from the film viewer.  It is available in the downloads section.  Just hit alt+r in normal flight and it will activate the film.  You can later go back and open the film in the viewer.

But, then again there is an easier way to do it.  What I usually do to get a good view of my skin is to take off and level off in the air somewhere.  I then turn and position myself so that I get the lighting that I want on this skin.  Then I'll move the views around using the F8 key and position the view how I want it.  Then, snap the picture with alt+s.

You might want to download the skin viewer, saves a l lot of time when you make small changes you can just hit "refresh" instead of opening AH and going through all that trouble.
