Pilot View

[oursteve]

Hi
Can someone help please, I have changed my machine and had to re-install FS2004. I had altered a cfg file to assist with the view for the pilot but cannot locate it. Please I'm only small and cannot see out of the front window.

Steve,
VC:
the line in the aircraft.cfg:

{Views}
eyepoint=-3.95, -0.85, 2.1 //(feet) x,y,z (Z is vertical value-more ++ to raise the seat) <<<<<<======= *****

will adjust the viewpoint in the Virtual Cockpit.

2D:
The Panel.cfg MAY have a line near the top like this... or you can add it

{Window Titles}
Window00=Main Panel
Window01=Radio Stack

{VIEWS}
VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.5, 0.0, 0.0 // view from 2D <<<====== *****

This line adjusts the view IN THE 2D cockpit. Adjust the FIRST parameter (pitch angle)ONLY: more positive raises the horizon; less, lowers it.

BUT FIRST, save your current panel and AC config files...
Adjust in small increments, save, reload the AC and test the new viewpoint.

Hope this helps
