Help with Snap-To Virtual Cockpit Camera View

Recommended Posts

I want to change the "snap-to" position in the "Cockpit View: Virtual Cockpit" view when I hit the CTL-Spacebar key combo.  Right now the default setting for CTL-Spacebar is level with the windscreen and leaves most of the instrument panel out of sight below the view.  I'd like the CTL-Spacebar position to pitch lower so that it shows me the instrument panel and less of an out front view.  I can do this easily by adding a new, modified virtual camera view to the aircraft.cfg, but then I have one more panel view in the set of available virtual cockpit views to cycle through.  Instead, I'd rather do this for the default virtual panel view, but I don't know where the configuration settings are.  There's not a default virtual cockpit view camera configuration in the aircraft.cfg file; instead there are camera settings for "MCP View", "FMC", "FO Seat", "Radio Stack", "Overhead Panel", just not one for the pilot's "Virtual Cockpit" view.

Attached are two pictures.  The first shows the default view I see when I hit CTL-Spacebar key combo.  The second picture is the view I want to see.

 

Sorry if this is real confusing, but I appreciate any help locating where to affect the change to the default Virtual Cockpit camera configuration settings

Ok, my post was a bit too complicated and it appears the pictures I added are no longer showing (not sure why, though).

 

Bottom Line: What .CFG file do I edit to modify the Virtual Cockpit Pilot View to shift the CTL-Space "snap-to" position?  Thanks!
