moving eyepoint

[eraser_tr 29]

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.

They just want to make sure that you can reach the rudder pedals

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??

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.

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.

Thanks! it sorta works....my cockpit disappeared entirely, but I suspect it simply got moved either too far back or down.
