Hi,I usually perform (for more fun) a semi-auto landing, in other words I keep the autopilot ON until reaching about 6-700 radio altitude (depending on wind direction and speed, clouds conditions, visibility...), then disconnect it and go down in manual. Well, with the PSS 757 is quite impossible because you cannot see the runway. With a 3-5° pitch up you see the sky only, not the ground, it is very bad and dangerous.One trick is to press SHIFT+ENTER to downgrade the view angle. Well, the problem is that while on approach you can see fairly the runway, when you touch down you can only see the runway surface and not its end, which dangerous and bad too.I think there is a way to edit the aircraft.cfg or the panel.cfg modifying view angles but I don't know correct values, could you help me?Thanks.Bye.RR

Hi there!You can change the view from the cockpit very easy, go to the panel cfg [VIEWS]VIEW_Forward_direct= 1.000 ( if you change this 1.000 for exempl. in 3.000, this wil change your view up or down!) try and let me know.Best regardsCub51

Funny,I never have problems seeing the runway in that plane.You sure you haven't saved some outrageous setting somewhere ?

Are you sure about this?As far as I know it's VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=X.X, Y.Y, Z.Z or VIEW_FORWARD_EYE =X.X, Y.Y, Z.ZX.X = LATERAL (left/right), Y.Y = VERTICAL (up/down) and Z.Z = LONGITUDINAL (fore/aft)

when you touch down you can only see the runway surface and not its end, which dangerous and bad too.

Just press the space bar and the view is resetted.Alternatively you can assign also 2 joystick buttons to (temporarily) raise/lower your seat.

Thanks, but I would like to have a correct configuration data to avoid several tries. Yesterday I tried to modify VIEW_FORWARD_DIR and EYE but I did not get good results.

You're going to have to use trial and error. I correct the eyepoint and view direction of all my planes. Examples:view direction is in the aircraft's panel.cfgVIEW_LEFT_DIR=2.6, 0.0, 270eyepoint (the spot where your head is located) is in aircraft.cfgeyepoint = -19.700, -1.112, 11.122I know you can change these via keyboard shortcuts but it's nice to set the defaults so that hitting spacebar snaps you back to your default view as specified in the above files.To get it right, I use keyboard shortcuts to get the position and view direction where I want it. Now take note of what's at the screen edges, or even take a screenshot.Now edit the files and reload the aircraft until you see what you had in the previous step.I usually raise the eyepoint, like raising your chair, so that I can see the runway properly (some aircraft have you really a bit too low in the VC). It's often a good idea to do all this paused while on final approach, configured for landing. I also move the eyepoint back. I find most VCs have you sitting waaaaay too far forward. Finally I adjust the viewpoint so I'm looking down a bit more, to get the whole windscreen and primary instruments in view.

Excuse me, I read here and in other posts somewhere and there is some confusion in my head. Let me summarize:VIEW_FORWARD_DIR: x, y, z (X represents the pitch angle of the view, so positive numbers are for down views, negative for up views. Y Z are usually not used)VIEW_FORWARD_EYE: x, y, z (X is used for fore/aft [longitudinal distance], Y is used for up/down position [vertical distance], Z is used for left/right position [lateral distance]).eyepoint: x, y, z, (???)the same as for VIEW_FORWARD_EYE?Bye.
