Ike Kant Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I just started using P3Dv4. The instrument panel looks as though my face is way too close to it. I know that you can temporarily move the eyepoint back with control+enter but re-centering TrackIr moves it back too close again. Is there a way to permanently move the eyepoint back to a more realistic point? I don't want to set the view to less than 100% because the panel may look smaller but the scenery is further away. Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. - Mae West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1biggles1 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 yes there is, I presume you are using multi monitors there is a switch in the .cfg: WideViewaspect= listed under [DISPLAY] change from False to True. In v4 it may have a listings in the settings, you may still need to tweak the eye point a little.

il88pp Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Not sure if the assignment exists in p3d (I use Fsx) but if it does, use assignment for: "Look Forward (3D Cockpit)" See my post here: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?318997-Hat-Switch-Panning Edited March 3, 2021 by il88pp [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1biggles1 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It is in all FSX based .cfg's I have used it in FSX FSXSE P3D v3/ v5 in my cockpit which sports 3x 32in curved monitors as the main view. Howard Mail : biggles-tnw@outlook.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeandpatty Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Are you talking about the default VC view? If so, you can make a custom camera view to set to your liking. It requires adding one to the aircraft.cfg file, takes a little experimenting but worth it. Look up making camera views on the web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 = "eyepoint Reset" that does two things: It resets the view to 'forward' but it also resets the eyepoint (seat position) and zoom level. So if you had moved the eyepoint and changed zoom level in flight then using "" those things will now be reset, and you will have to adjust your eyepoint and zoom level again. A better command to use is: "Look Forward (3D Cockpit)" With that command the eyepoint or zoom level stay as they are. It only resets the view to "Forward". I have "Look Forward (3D Cockpit)" assigned to a joystick button, and use it all the time. I still have "eyepoint Reset" assigned to . Comes in handy as well but I don't use it nearly as much.

1biggles1 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 That will work on a single wide screen but not across multi monitors and I said at the beginning that I was presuming he had 3 monitor in stretch mode, which he has not clarified as yet, if he has then those settings you use will not go anywhere far enough to correct the panel or POV but the WideViewaspect remains until altered back. Those setting you suggest still work with 3 monitors stretched, I used them for a long time on my yoke for a long time along with buttons to switch easily between Lock spot and VC all my other switching are set into my full working cockpit.
