It´s Control+Q to look down so you can better view the runway and Control+Shift+Q to look up. It work in the ground and in the air. Adenilson

Those are pan up and down shortcuts !! Nothing to do with the eyepoint problem. Fred

Guys.... This worked like a charm, I TOTALLY recommend this fix, if you want to see the runway on final approach! Regards,

Still doesn't really solve the problem ! That just adjusts the zoom level which you could do with the minus key !! As I have ststed alreay this is a well known Windows 7 issue with FSX !

RYR738. Yes but the guy "feio" would like to see the runway while landing and this trick work, right ? Best Regards, Adenilson

Hi Guys, I discovered base on a hint of pete_auau. It´s Control+Q to look down so you can better view the runway and Control+Shift+Q to look up. Let me just point out here that PMDG support are too lazy and it´s taking so much time to reply. Different than other ones. Adenilson

EDIT: Saw that you apologized, disregard.

Fred, Yes it solved, if you take a look at this directive: [VIEWS]VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,MINIPANELVIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.0, 0.0, 0.0VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.8 Specially line 2:VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.0, 0.0, 0.0 The original panel.cfg uses 0 as the first direction... the new direction is 3, that lowers your eyesight and you can actually see the runway without pressing any key on FS... try it, it will solve the problem... regards

The 2D panel is outstanding! Thanks for the Ctrl-Q tip.

Thanks for that !! Cheers.

personally i prefer forward dir = 12.0 and zoom = 1.0. then when i enter the 2d panel i drag the outside view window to full screen size. it's a good angle and then when you look 45 degrees to either side the zoom will actually match. otherwise looking forward everything is always further away than looking to the side. maybe someone will find that helpful.

That is a windows 7 problem with FSX.It is the same with the default planes in FSX. Not a PMDG problem at all. I would still love to know a fix for this ? Fred Also worth noting that those keyboard shortcuts move the eye point up and down.They work while on the ground but not in the air !! Perfect in Vista but doesn't work in Windows 7 !!!

they work in the air as well they do on my pc

That's very interesting ! I am beginning to now think it has something to do with my display drivers although a lot of other people have the same problem.If I am on the ground no problem but in the air nothing !! Thanks. Fred.

i fixed it for my panel go to the panel.CFG and change this line to this. [VIEWS]VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,MINIPANELVIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.0, 0.0, 0.0VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.8

works great thank you!

Hey guys! I am using Windows 7 and when trying to edit the panel.cfg I get a prompt to save it again as a new file.Any suggestions? Are you guys getting the same issue?I can't modify the panel.cfg file cause when I click Save, it's like I've been selecting Save As. Do I overwrite?Thanks

No problem guys! im working on a 2d first officer view, check on a another thread i posted an image showing it.
