Hmmm...ok I did not see that.  Now I've got a better idea of what you are 
looking for.  Also I need to retract what I said about the camera angle.  
That's a function of manipulating the origin.  The pitch-offset-deg value will 
have no effect in lookat mode.

Currently the only thing you can do to move the aircraft up higher in the tower 
view is to specify a target-y-offset-m.  This moves the target location.   What 
it won't do is maintain the same angle as the distance to the aircraft changes. 
 Doing that would require a code change that uses new parameters like 
target-pitch-offset-deg and calculates an xyz value dynamically.

Best,

Jim
