Need help with class Optics

[NightIntruder 710]

I work on Amazonas class brazilian corvette with working turrets, including cargo crane.

The crane has camera attached to its longest arm and it shows where the arm is pointing out. Although, I need it to show a flight deck, so straight down view. I think there must be something wrong in config.cpp. Could someone help me with this, please?

 

Here is a movie that shows how the camera behave at this moment (first 45sec of the movie).

And below it's a piece of config.cpp code.

The angles for the optic are as far as i know only usable for free view - they get overwritten incase of gun optics.

The optic for a gun optic will always look where the gun is pointing from what i can tell, so you could try and add a fake/dummy weapon, and have gunEnd as a memorypoint at the camera location and gunBegin as a memorypoint below this point.
