Hi and welcome to the AVSIM forum !

If you are using EZCA, it's because your first view in the list (top of the list)  isn't the pilot forward view. Move you pilot forward view to the top of the list.

Hello Hi

 

I have not install EZCA yet :( I am just reconnect with the sim after some years .

So you tell me that without EZCA I wont be able to see clearly in front of my plane ? beacause now with PMDG 737 the view I have when I press 0 on the key pad its almost in front of the nose of the plane :( I have to press - some times until it reach 0.50 OR 0.40 zoom and that affect my landing view :(

 

Thanks

Somehow you managed to get your default COCKPIT Instrument Panel EYEPOINT view screwed up.  But in any case.....

1.  Quit using the "-" key to try to fix it.  That key (along with the "+" key") moves the ENTIRE view (both the OUTSIDE and COCKPIT view) in or out at the same time.  Only use the "+" or "-" keys to adjust the OUTSIDE view (the "zoom level") FIRST.  Then...

2.  Use the EYEPOINT keyboard combination adjustments to move ONLY the cockpit Instrument Panel on your monitor.  There are 6 of them (Up, Down, Left, Right, Forward, Backward).  They will move your Instrument Panel around on your screen, without changing your outside view "zoom level" (the 0.50, 0.40. etc your refer to). Look in the Keyboard Commands to see what the 6 keyboard combinations are to do the EYEPOINT only Instrument Panel moves.  That will stop "affect(ing) your (outside) landing view ;( "

No.  You will be able to see in front without EZCA.. Follow Rick's instructions above to adjust your view if you don't have any camera addon installed.

have  you  entered    i think its  WideViewAspect=True in  your fsx. cfg ( In  the  display section)  beside  this  is  all explained  in the introduction  manual well worth having  a look. Just  a reminder  its  pmdg  rules  that you enter  your  full name  to each of  your  posts  otherwise  you run the risk  of  them being  deleted
