It's only very specific views of certain harbour features (e.g. George's Island) from very specific locations on Citadel Hill. You can see them on the link I posted previously. The main viewling locations are:
- Viewing deck on the other side of the road from the main entrance
- On the rampart right under the flagpole
- Two points along the road south of the fort
As far as I'm aware this has not changed at all ever since the viewplanes were introduced.
If you look around on Google Maps you can see a number of buildings that have been designed to just skirt the viewplanes. E.g. The Convention Centre, the Trinity Site (where the Moxy Hotel is), the Maritime Centre, etc.
Skye's south tower also is designed to avoid the viewplane that's over top of the Metro Park.
Someday when the weather is nice maybe I'll go take some photos to illustrate the different viewplanes.
