for 3.2, this is obviously now too late, but afterwards it would make sense to directly integrate your changes with view.nas and modernize the file accordingly, I think Philosopher also had some changes there - so once you have completed that, I'd just file a merge request so that this functionality can be included as an optional feature in upcoming versions.
Like we previously discussed, there are quite some overlapping features in various aircraft - and unifying the whole thing would make a lot of sense, I think we even have a few AI missiles that provide custom camera views, and IIRC there's also some helicopter-mounted camera system using its own Nasal code.
Thus, someone doing camera related work, would probably be well-advised to check out what we've got so far and see if there's any useful code that could/should be generalized and unified over time.
Another user started toying with a canvas-based view manager that renders a camera view to a canvas, this would all be property based, too - so having a generic Nasal script would be kinda useful then obviously.
