eraser_tr Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Just a quick question: How do you move the your default eyepoint back a bit, but keeping the default zoom. I've found in alot of the recent aircraft, the default point is way too close to the instrument panel/hud for my taste. Quote

They just want to make sure that you can reach the rudder pedals Edited August 9, 2008 by serverandenforcer Quote
+Wrench Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Have you looked in the cockpit inis?? Also, wasn't there an ini hidden in one of the cats that set the views? Viewlist.ini???? something like that??? Maybe a pillow on the seat?? Booster cushion, I believe resturants call them?? Wrench kevin stein Quote

eraser_tr Posted August 9, 2008 Author Posted August 9, 2008 The thing is, I only want to move back the eyepoint in certain planes. The F-22 and AV-8B come to mind, its as if your helmet is glued to the hud glass and the only distance between your eyes and the hud/panel is that between your eyes and visor. Quote
+FastCargo Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 Eraser, Check the cockpit.ini file and look for these lines: Position=0.0000,4.0,0.9 ViewAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 Offset=0.0,-0.1,0.1 I believe the Offset line is the one you are looking for. FastCargo Quote
eraser_tr Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks! it sorta works....my cockpit disappeared entirely, but I suspect it simply got moved either too far back or down. Quote
+FastCargo Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 Jeez, whatdidyado move it by a meter? Small steps! FastCargo Quote
