How do I get to see the plane I'm flying in Third Person view ? At the minute all I can see is the cockpit and therefore cannot orientate myself to the other planes. Thanks for any help you can give.

Unfortunately, you can't. I don't think there's even a console command for that.

I hope this tip helps; look at the compass in the bottom right of the screen, there are white star icons. Turn in a direction so they are at the top of the compass, and you'll be flying towards them.

This works ! Thank you. Thank you for your reply. My frustration from trying to use the compass in this way led me to look at walkthroughs to try to see if this was the only option to complete the level. It was when I saw YouTube video posts where the plane was in third-person view that I decided to post my query.
