Description
#### Issue details
I fly in a very windy part of the world. I would like the ability to rotate the yaw on the Storm32 gimbal using the pixhawk flight controller in such a way that the gimbal is oriented with the actual flight path of the aircraft instead of the aircraft's heading. For example see the attached photo. I would like the camera to be aligned with the black line, not the red line.

Usually when I am mapping with my plane the camera is pointed straight at the ground. If the camera could align with the actual flight path instead of the aircraft heading the image quality would be greatly improved.
