TIP: when at CYZF in tower view: go to your control settings and look for the "View track/pan Toggle"
allocate a keyboard key stroke to it (I allocated a button on my controller) this will unlock the user aircraft, then you can use the hat switch to pan 360 degrees around the airport, hitting the key stroke again (in my case a button) will return you to the user aircraft position
