NOTE: These custom camera views are tailored to show as many window views as possible using the existing windows in the model, if you want a more general custom camera setup I recommend using another camera mod that shows more variety in cockpit, instrument, and landing views instead.
Headwind A330neo Window Views
The Headwind A330neo 0.100 update includes a new model with exterior and windows that are visible from the interior view. You can freely move these cameras and switch to and from them easily from the cockpit with key bindings. There are only two viewable windows on each side, so I have placed two of the side views over the wing.
Also check out my FlyByWire A32NX Development Window Views mod, which this mod is based on.
Cameras
Custom Cameras 1/4/7 are the window views on the port (left) side of the aircraft, starting from the rear
Custom Cameras 3/6/9 are the window views on the starboard (right) side of the aircraft, starting from the rear
Custom Camera 0 is the EFB (flyPAD) and printed notes closeup view
Custom Camera 2 is the EFIS and FCU (Glareshield) closeup view
Custom Camera 5 is the FMGS and Comms closeup view
Custom Camera 8 is the bottom overhead panel closeup view
To switch between these camera views from the cockpit, you should go to the Controls Settings and map the number pad keys on the keyboard to the "Load Custom Camera x" options in the Cockpit Camera section of the controls, x corresponding to the actual number pad key. There are detailed instructions of how to map the keys on PropellorBC's Custom Camera Views mod page.
How to Install
!!!READ ME CAREFULLY!!! To install this mod, you must locate the AppData folder where the simulator is installed. This mod cannot be installed by simply moving into the Community Folder or using a mod loader. The Airplanes folder is where any custom cockpit views you save are stored and loaded.
For users who bought the game from the Microsoft Store, the location can be found:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_RANDOMLETTERS\LocalCache\SimObjects
or enter the following into the address bar of your file manager, find the Microsoft.FlightSimulator_RANDOMLETTERS folder, and open the SimObjects folder within it:
%localappdata%\Packages
For users who bought the game from Steam, the location can be found:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects
or enter the following into the address bar of your file manager:
%appdata%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects
You should find a folder titled Airplanes at the top of the SimObjects folder. Back up the Airplanes folder somewhere safe and outside the install directory. If there is no Airplanes folder, make one. Move the Headwind_A330neo folder inside the Airplanes folder. If your file manager asks you to replace any files, click continue. Launch the simulator and make sure you can switch to the camera views from the default cockpit view using the number pads or whatever input method you prefer. To switch back, use whatever key you use to reset the cockpit view.
Issues
There is a chance the camera view may "peek" through the window glass during flight. This is caused by the way the camera moves inside the cabin, especially during turns or while flying through strong winds. This can be fixed by disabling Camera Shake in the Camera settings, but the issue is small enough imo that it shouldn't be necessary to enjoy the mod.

can you edit a few of the views and add a pilot and copilot views
MarbleFlower author
I'm not sure what you mean by edit the views, I spent quite some time lining up the cameras to match my other mod pretty well. You can also switch the camera to the copilot view by assigning a key to "Toggle Copilot View" in the control settings, without needing a mod.

When I spawn into the airport with the A339 and this mod, I have the cam set in the cargo area

You can choice your own cam views, select de cam view you want then save it using "Ctrl+alt+number of your choice". Then select the cam using "alt+your saved cam number", for each view select another number when you save it! That's all!
