#) Guys .... are you able to move the eyepoint view up/down/sideways ? Checksix view is okay in the Fokker and Spad (don't have trackir ....I use camera view on hatswitch) but is obscured in the SE5 by the headrest. Be nice to be able to see over or around it ? Otherwise, changing the extracted viewlist.ini for a check6 view will do the same thing in the SE5 ? #) Can the camera view pan speed (when mapped to hatswitch) be incresed/decreased ? Cheers, catch.

Thanks Tailspin. I think I've got it. I'll give it a go.

Thanks Jim. I got that far and was browsing in the WW1 folders looking for viewlist.ini which always came up blank. I did a XP search and there's no viewlist.ini on my machine. Sorry but I'm still confused and more questions ..... #) I still don't understand why we have to extract stuff to modify. I downloaded the extractor only because someone said that was the only way to modify files. Can't that be done via notepad ? #) What is a "cat" file anyway ? Is that just a term for any file you're looking for ? #) If I did have viewlist.ini and it's global that's the one I'd modify so all views are uniform across all aircraft .... if any didn't look right then I'd modify that plane rather than doing each one individually. Or is this not possible ? Sorry mate I've probably opened a can of worms here and this stuff is all new to me. I appreciate your help. Cheers, Catch.

Thanks for the feedback Erik. I thought it was just me at first ! These combatace downloads are popular eh .... good stuff too. Keep up the good work.

I installed it and it works fine for me .... it's sluggish but you'd expect that for a heavy bomber .... even has a day and night skin. When flying it the pilot cannot shoot but the AI gunners swivel around and shoot when attacked ..... but you have to fly on normal FM otherwise you'll never get it off the ground. The only odd thing I noticed was the default cockpit forward view looks incomplete with "clippings" or whatever you call it on the right hand side like there was some kind of issue with the front gunner or something ? It's fun though ..... but geez Archibald is deadly to Gotha's !

Thanks RvH. I've been trying to find the ini files ! I installed the SF extractor but I can't extract (well don't know how !) the viewlist.ini to have a play around. Do you have to have Strike Fighters installed to extract from there and place into FE ? Is that how it works ?

It's okay Dagger .... Combatace were having problems ..... it's all good now.

Thanks for the reply RvH. So how do you move the eyepoint up/down/sideways from the default cockpit setting ? I don't have trackir but I thought maybe there's eyepoint controls somewhere that I could map to the stick buttons ? It can be done in OFF. I know I know get trackir they say get trackir ! One day ......
