Just a clarification - it's never been possible to view cockpit seats internally?

[Arrow 83]

I wanted to change my TrackIR 5 integration in my recently enabled A-6E Intruder, which felt far too restrictive. So I did some searching and came across the LimitPitch=FALSE,
LimitYaw=FALSE, and LimitRoll=FALSE edits for the VIEWLIST.INI.  Extracting that INI and making those edits has allowed me head tracking movement that's less restricted for all my aircraft, which I'm perfectly happy with despite it not being realistic in all cases.

The less restricted forward / backward movement however, has revealed something that I couldn't see easily before - that I can't view anything internally on the cockpit floor other than center and side consoles. My TrackIR 3 broke before I got much stick time in the WO series, so TBH I can't recall if that was also the case for the earlier series - something tingling at the back of my brain is telling me it was the case.

So just for some clarification - has it always been the case that you can't view the cockpit seat internally and only externally?

yes, because the cockpit and aircraft are 2 seperate models. the seat is 'attached' to the aircraft's LOD

Ah OK - that makes sense. So am I correct in assuming the seat -which has it own LOD- can be attached to one LOD only?

to be correct can be attached only to an external model.
