I experienced a strange spectator view behaviour while playing around with the editor.
I was flying in an aircraft (doesn't matter which one) and pressed the Escape key. I clicked on spectator, pressed Escape again and clicked on spectator again. Suddenly my pilot was outside, especially infront of the aircraft in a sitting position. I was still able to see the white retickle of the aircraft HUD. Behind my player was the plane with a second headless player.
Just take a look at the attached pictures. {F24295} {F24296} {F24297} {F24298} {F24299}
