If you want a freeware utility try F1View from

http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library


Otherwise you have to pay for the more sophisticated Active Camera. I find
F1 View quite good enough.

You can speed up the 'Hat' panning by editing the
"PAN_RATE=" in your FS9.cfg file. The default value is 400 which I changed
to 700 for a while until
I invested in the excellent Active Camera which is only $15 or £8.50
depending on what side of the water you are on.
