The sense of perspective is much better, thanks for sharing.

I will try it hours later when I am home.One word of advice if I may.There is an objective way to determine if the height is realistic or not. Just pull up to any terminal gate. Knowing the real height above the ground of 737 windows and the dimensions of the terminal you can see if you got it right. Or even simpler - look straight eye-to-eye at another 737 parked in front of you. Are you looking straight in another pilot's eyes?

PLEASE WRITE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE VIEWS:-) Kenn:-)

I started using these settings and I like it !

HiI'm not quite sure I've gotten it right. I have added your lines just below the [Views] portion of the individual aircraft cfg file. This is right?How do I access the new wing views? Have I placed the addition in the wrong place? Is the difference in perspective obvious or subtle? I'm thinking I've scrambled something here.Thanks!

That is, I went from this:{Views}eyepoint= -7.993, -1.730, 3.596to this:{Views}eyepoint= -7.993, -1.730, 3.596VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=20,21,22,23,24VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.6,0.0_,0.0VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_WINDOWS=30VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_DIR=4.4, 0.0, 40VIEW_RIGHT_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_RIGHT_WINDOWS=34VIEW_RIGHT_DIR=4.4, 0.0, 90VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_WINDOWS=35VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_DIR=4.4, 0.0, 120VIEW_REAR_WINDOWS=36VIEW_REAR_LEFT_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_REAR_LEFT_WINDOWS=33VIEW_REAR_LEFT_DIR=8.6, 0.0, 219VIEW_LEFT_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_LEFT_WINDOWS=32VIEW_LEFT_DIR=8.6, 0.0, 275VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_WINDOWS=31VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_DIR=8.6, 0.0, 310VIEW_DOWN_WINDOWS=37VIEW_DOWN_DIR=11.0, 0.0, 0.0VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_UP_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_UP_WINDOWS=39 // RIGHT WING VIEW // BEHINDVIEW_REAR_RIGHT_UP_DIR=5.40, 0.00, 67 VIEW_REAR_RIGHT_UP_EYE=1.00, -0.40,-26.00 VIEW_REAR_LEFT_UP_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_REAR_LEFT_UP_WINDOWS=40 // LEFT WING VIEW // BEHINDVIEW_REAR_LEFT_UP_DIR=5.40, 0.00, -67VIEW_REAR_LEFT_UP_EYE=1.00, -0.40, -27.00VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_UP_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_UP_WINDOWS=41 // LEFT WING VIEWVIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_UP_DIR=5.40, 00.00, -90VIEW_FORWARD_LEFT_UP_EYE=0.23, -0.40, -18.00VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_UP_ZOOM=0.69VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_UP_WINDOWS=42 // RIGHT WING VIEWVIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_UP_DIR=5.40, 0.00, 90VIEW_FORWARD_RIGHT_UP_EYE=0.90, -0.43, -18.00Is this right?Thanks
