It's not hard to do if you want to have a go with a little script - you can access the view axis in the property tree, do a little trigonometry and output the result into a canvas window - and it's done.

Give it a try!

Ah, try for instance

/sim/current-view/raw-orientation[]

raw-orientation[1] for instance seems to have the required change when turning around, I just don't know offhand where the zero point is though, needs some testing. Maybe it's related to the heading defined in the default tower view somehow?

also, there's a bunch of properties under /sim/current-view/debug/

which also might be of use.
