Why so hidden. Lol.

...does DCS have a fixed, unmovable camera position behind the right wing but not one on the nose that could be used to make decent frikking gun-cam footage?! It absolutely blows my bloody mind that something so obvious would be lacking.

Edit: It can be done with obscure mouse and key manipulations. Not perfect but not bad either.

There is.

DCS has a locked to vehicle free camera that can be positioned anywhere on the airframe using WASDQE. 
 

It’s accessed by Ctrl+F2.

For fine control press and hold Ctrl whilst using the WASDQE keys

That was one of the combos Chat-GPT suggested and along with all the others it doesn't do anything. Ctrl-F2 puts me outside the plane but Ctrl + WASD keys does nothing. Ditto the WASD keys on their own. All I can do is pan around with the mouse and zoom in/out a bit with the wheel.

In that case check your controls. WASD should move the camera if you are in the Ctrl+F2 view.

F4, hold right mouse button and WASD (that's default on my install, I've never messed with them before).

Talk about a hidden feature.
