Control key+RMB

Ctrl+RMB as previous poster said. You can also rebind it, i think it's under the "weapons" tab in the settings.
Carful because you still control your plane, and the change of viewpoint can cause disorientation.
Some other vehicles have it (at least the ghosthawk, fixed camera under it, probably to help with sling loading)

I can't even lock missles on ground targets after the Jets dlc update... they screwed up the controls.

Ground missiles need to be laser targeted first. They are not magical anymore.
Put laser on target
Fire missile.
I think active radars or hot targets get locked without having to lase it beforehand

That brakes basically any single player jets scenario thus. I always had a great time doing jets missions, but it sucks balls now with the changes they made. Such a shame :(

As i said earlier, you can self-designate with the plane targeting pod (Ctrl+RMB).
Circle your weapons to laser, point to target, use laser, switch back to weapon

explains it pretty well, works the same way for DLC jets

Still not like a gameplay improvement, just like the new throttle function does not improve the gameplay. On one hand BI tries to make ArmA more for a wider audience and on the other hand the mess up flight controls and functions to make it less playable. I liked how it used to be, there was nothing wrong with jet gameplay. The only thing that needs improvement is flight physics and a wind feature.

Did you come here just to complain mate ? I'm trying to explain how it works and help you. This is not a complain thread.
I think the changes they did are good and the new throttle is great though, allows me to not have to constantly hit throttle up like before
Set it to 50% - 75% once in flight and done, don't have to worry about it. You should not have your throttle up to 100% everytime

The throttle sucks hard with dog fighting, because you have to have variable speeds with dogfights, thats not really intuitively possible anymore with a static throttle control. It is more realistic now sure, but gameplay is not better. At least I can still look at my epic dog fight video's on youtube and remember the good old days. I didn't come here to complain, but it just turned out that way.
