I want to modify the default view in the VC of a couple of my aircraft (namely PMDG JS41 and Leonardo's Maddog). The default "center" view is primarily an out the window view with just a sliver of the dash. While flying out the window is all well and good, it's hard in FSX without the sense of motion. Now that I'm using TrackIR, I'd like to modify this view to be tilted down 15-20 degrees to include the PFD (so that when I recenter TrackIR, I automatically see the PFD). Can anyone enlighten me as to how I'd do this? I believe I just need to modify one of the numbers in the "view" catagory of the aircraft.cfg, but I don't know what coordinate system they use. Thanks for any help.

Hi, the first set of numbers is Longitude (forward back)Second is Latitude (left right) third is vertical (up down) No idea how to tilt the view, but probably moving the eyepoint back a little with the first numbers may give you what you're after.Russell.

Quick 'n'dirty is to look upwards a few degrees, press the 'Center' key - F11 in my case, and you're done. As you look back down you can now see the HSI in your field of vision.

Yes, that's what I've been doing and it works. However, it's a less than elegant solution. Was hoping for better.

I believe the default tilt (pitch) is actually defined in the Cameras.cfg file..From the SDK:InitialPbh XYZ (see notes) -90 to 90.0 (pitch)-180 to 180.0 (bank and heading) Defaults: 0.0 Camera pitch, bank and heading orientation offset from the default in degrees. Note that positive pitches give a downward view. Positive headings are to the right.Notes:“XYZ” value types denote a set of three numeric values expressed as a comma-separated string in the configuration file (for example: InitialPbh=0, 10, -40). Each value can be positive or negative and there must be a space between each comma and the following value.Try this:[CameraDefinition.002]Title = Virtual CockpitGuid = XXXXXXXDescription = This is the description of the virtual cockpit view.Origin = Virtual Cockpit....InitialPbh= 10.0, 0.0, 0.0 // Initial viewpoint....
