lefu Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 the hard way you will have to edit your aircraft.cfg file in aircraft folder. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\your aircraft" https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526949.aspx i have an old sample here, wich i think shows VC from center (like sitting on the pedestal...) lines to edit -"InitialXyz" view coordinates -[CameraDefinition.xxx] xxx replaced with the value following the number of CameraDefinition lines in your file. -Guid = {2C829FC5-1A34-40a4-0006-879C0D090D4A} any value that is not allready in the file. You will have to reload you aircraft everytime you edit the file. these are the lines: //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [CameraDefinition.xxx] Title = "center view" //---------name it as you wish------------- Guid = {2C829FC5-1A34-40a4-0006-879C0D090D4A} //---------line to edit------------- Origin = Virtual Cockpit MomentumEffect = YES SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel SnapPbhReturn = False PanPbhAdjust = Swivel PanPbhReturn = False Track = None ShowAxis = FALSE AllowZoom = TRUE InitialZoom = 0.6 SmoothZoomTime = 2.0 ZoomPanScalar = 1.0 ShowWeather = Yes XyzAdjust = TRUE ShowLensFlare=TRUE Category = Cockpit PitchPanRate=40 HeadingPanRate=50 InitialXyz=0.54,0.0,0.0 //---------line to edit------------- InitialPbh=10, 0, 0 //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Or easier, drag you seat view by using ctrl-shift-backspace-enter keys to relocate the view you wish, but you will have to save that flight so the next time you load it you will have the same view. if you load a new flight the views will go back to default.

f16jockey_2 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Easiest way is to make the 2nd eyepoint value positive (in aircraft.cfg). For example (differs in every aircraft) [Views] eyepoint = 7.250, [b]-1.600[/b], 3.400 becomes [Views] eyepoint = 7.250, [b]1.600[/b], 3.400 This has to be done for every aircraft, and some fine tuning can be necessary. To test, assign a key combo to "Aircraft - Reload". Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi, in the following thread, first half of post 5, I explain how to assign a key to an existing view point. In the example I assign a key for the copilot view in the 747. After assigning a key in the aircraft.cfg file, you can then assign a key in fsx. I use f12 for copilot view, and shift-f12 for top-down. Works better then moving the eyepoint. Moving eyepoint would move both views. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?287269-Cockpit-views-look-downward&p=1905501#post1905501 il88pp. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
