Pilot view problem

Somehow I have managed to corrupt my C172 pilot view. I have tried all sorts including resetting all 2020 defaults and deleting all my personalised yoke and view settings. I can use arrow keys to get "back into the seat" but if I change views and go back to "pilot" the same fault occurs. My problem only happens with the regular C172. It does not happen with the float or ski version. Changing C172 liveries makes no difference. Only changing the ac does. I am hoping to perhaps copy and transfer the relevant cfg file from say, the float version, to the regular version to correct this but have no idea what actual file would have this info. Any help greatly appreciated as the C172 is my fav aircraft.

Anything in the .cfg files referring to eyepoint=

Will it let you uninstall the C172 in the content manager & then reinstall it? If so, turn presumably the views will be corrected?

So many files but will have a look see.. Thanks

Copy the cameras.cfg from the floaters or skis version.

 

The line in the cameras.cfg which affects the cockpit viewpoint is this one:

 

[VIEWS]

eyepoint = -3.95, -0.85, 1.9 ; (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from reference datum

Hi Steve,

 

K I found it in the manager and when highlighted there is a delete option but, will I be able to get it back ?

 

Cheers

Have tried this but no change, assuming I did it right. Please note this only happens with pilot view, all orthers are fine eg Landing, "close" etc. If that makes any difference .

 

Thanks for input

Thanks to all for responses. Managed to delete all 172 models in manager and reinstall but same problem... Have made a back up of my Community foder and going to reinstall the whole sim.

 

Thanks again.

I would hold off on that, if you can

 

When I reinstalled it pulled my settings from the cloud (lost my flight plans, grr), but my camera views stayed. Just me 2 cents :)

When this happens to me, and it DOES on a few airplanes, I just go to the top of the screen, select the camera icon, then "Pilot" and then "Close" and voila! I have the regular panel view.

I agree. It seems buried somewhere. Use the camera menu from the toolbar and then renumber it to you liking. Don't think I would ever uninstall to fix. Just me.

Great replies and thanks everyone. I did a re-install of MSFS and all's well again.

 

Cheers for the advice offered.
