Interesting ideas.

It would be very easy to have a hook that allows view out the door of a C-47, DC3 or Ju-52, to give the "jump master" or "cargo master" view - essentially the cargo plane's equivalent of bombardier view. It would be equally easy to have a "passenger window" view, which would represent the view of a passenger or "cargo kicker."

One could create something like "paratrooper view" by hooking a camera to a parachutist object. Functionally, it would be identical to "bomb view" except that you wouldn't fall as fast. (This could also be an option for player pilots who bail out, set in the user interface, rather than the external view of bailed out players we currently get.)

IL2 will never have the graphics capacity to give photorealistic scenery and the perfect illusion of flight, but no reason to work with what you've got.
