Changing viewpoint for main window in .cfg file

Featured Replies

Hello;I am using the PMDG 600/700/800/900 series 737 aircraft. I use 2D panels in FS9When looking through the main front window the viewpoint seems to be too low. This is especially evident on landing when I often have to alter the eye view placement to see the end of the runway.I want to alter the file so that the viewpoint of the main front window is a little higher. I can always adjust this in flight by the eye placement feature in FS9, but it would be good to have the placement set by default.Can someone tell me which lines I need to edit in the CFG file to achieve this?There was a post regarding this some years ago, but a search has failed to locate it and I was foolish enough not to keep a copy. I realize that this is NOT the PMDG forum, however, as this aircraft is widely used I thought it pertinent to post hereThank you. I hope someone can help me. Best, WilloW (Iain)

If I remember correctly,go into your panel.cfg and search for the lien VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=X,Y,Z. X is the value that change the head up/down which is the one you are looking for

Thanks for the really fast reply....I'll try what you suggest and see how we do. I have a backup of the .cfg file so not that much can go terribly wrong. Best, WilloW

You can also run a search on user: 'january' both here and in the Hardware and Video Cards forums -- he has written tomes on the topic over the past 2 or 3 years, and is LEGEND here in view .cfg entries. Big%20Grin.gif
