Virtual cockpit not working, view problems, aircraft halway through ground (gtx980ti)

[Sickb0t 0]

I bought prepar3d yesterday. This is clean install with no addons or mods whatsoever. 

The problem is the same for all airplanes and airfields that I've tried.

The default view of the virtual cockpit tends to be way infront of the actual cockpit position. In example the f-22, when I use ctrl+space to reset the view I end up on the nose infront of the cockpit. I can't use the ctrl+backspace, ctrl+enter buttons to change my position but I can zoom with space+mousescroll.

The airplane itself has its wheels buried in the runway. 

When I make the plane move the virtual cockpit starts moving and flicker around like crazy and I can't see much of what's going on on the screen.

The 2d cockpit(F10) doesn't show any instruments at all.

I've tried to change all graphic settings in the menus but all is the same.

I've tried reinstalling with a clean boot etc. I'm using i5-4690k, 16gb ram, Gigabyte 980ti G1 running on windows 10 64bit. 3 monitors connected to the card but running prepar3d on 1 of them and also tried running with only 1 monitor connected but it changes nothing. The game detects the correct graphic card. This also happens in FSX since the upgrade from a radeon 280x to the 980ti.

Any ideas what this is? Can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem browsing the internet.

Select Wide Aspect View in the P3D settings and set your zoom to .60. That's what I use

That puts my VC view almost infront of the airplane.

I had landing gears buried into the ground in FSX once, it turned out to be simconnect. I disabled simconnect and it fix it.

This tells me that the problem is within your computer and not related to either FSX or P3D, as you observe the same error in both programs. You have to check if there is really no leftovers from your AMD Catalyst driver, for example should you verify that in your device manager, really only the 980Ti is shown and that you use the newest drivers directly from the nVidia homepage. Then, you have to verify that in your FSX.cfg and your prepare3d.cfg, there are no double entries for the graphics card. Easiest way to do this: delete both .cfg's and let FSX or P3D rebuild them (be aware that all settings will revert to default doing this).

Thanks AnkH I tried it but with no improvements.

 

Another observation:

 

After doing some more testing it seems the game performs normally first time I load the game after a reboot. So I can fly normally but as soon as I change any settings or reset the flight etc the wheels of my aircraft is under the ground and my seating position in the virtual cockpit is way to the right and on the nose of the airplane. As if the airplane gets out of sync or something.
