On the 2D panel, I find it hard to see the runway. With minimal fuel at at Vref (140kts) flaps full I am at 3 degrees pitched up at level flight and cant see the runway. At 0 degrees pitch (the minimum I need to see the threshhold while maintain 2 red/2wite on an ILS approach), I am decending 1000 fpm - This is too much decent - but I need it to see the runway. My only solution is: 1. CNTL Q myself a few times - I guess. but if I use TrackIR5 and that doen't work.2. Fly 1 or 2 dots high in the approach and decend at a steeper rate - just so I can see the runway. Does anyone have the same issue? BTW, I have been flying the 3D with TrackIR5 and I know this sounds stupid, but I get nauseous - I was queazy for 1 hour after flying - I do get motion sick easily. That's why I like the 2D with trackIR5.

Quick solution.. Get used to VC.. I was die hard 2D, but now changed to VC + EZDOk.. that's the way forward and never look back..

I had same problem here is my solution. Go to the following folder - FSX\Simobjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800NGX\Panel Open panel.cfg with notepad and edit the line below. You only have to do this one panel.cfg because the other 3 models are already aliased to this one. Change the line I have highlighted in red to read as below [VIEWS]VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,MINIPANELVIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.1,0.0,0.0VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.8 The PMDG 747-400 uses 3.5 the MD-11 uses 3.3 and for the NGX 3.1 is a good value. Now you will be able to see the runway. One thng to note is whenever you look out the windows the eye point jumps down a bit. What I do is on final hit eye point reset and then the level you see should be realistic.

Control + Q pans the view up so that is what I do now.Control + shift + Q pans it down.

Weird... would you care to share the exact identifier how these keystrokes appear in your Options/Controls settings? They never ever worked for me, although they are assigned to out-of-the-box FSX standards.

I had same problem here is my solution.

Thanks a whole ton, never thought of that. Also changed the default zoom right away, just entered 0.6 here, and will try it out now. Default zoom doesn't seem any good to me either.

Hey, that did the trick. Although I have to say the zoom item didn't do a thing. In fact even the default (of 0.8) didn't do anything. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but I thought it should have set the default zoom factor - mine still appears to be 1.0 in the sim. Weird. But at least the angle is now way better.
