Let's say I'm flying at a particular speed/heading/altitude. I want the system to propose a new speed/heading/altitude, and then I want the system to make a sound or flash a message when I achieve the new speed/heading/altitude correctly. Does anyone know of a feature in FSX, or an addon, or a hack to do this? ** Reason for wanting this is that I'm practicing for the PPL, and in the PTS checkride it's a typical maneuver; wherein the examiner proposes a new speed/heading/altitude, and then sees how well (smoothly/quickly) you are able to get there. I know it's not the same thing, but I want to practice on my FSX Cessna 172 before doing it on a real aircraft.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm a little new to FSX so I don't want to mess with the config files. So for the time being, I've decided to use CTRL + Q to pan down -- not the neatest trick, but it will work for now.

When I start FSX in virtual cockpit mode, this is what it looks like (default starting view): But if I try to reset the view by pressing CTRL + SpaceBar, it looks like this: This happens whether I shift the eye point after starting the game (e.g. by using Shift + Enter), or not. Even if I don't shift the eye point at all (top picture), and press CTRL + Spacebar, the new eye point view looks like the second picture. The problem: I seem to be unable to go back to the view in the top picture, after CTRL + Backspace makes it look like the second picture. What I want: When I press CTRL + Backspace (i.e., when I reset the view) I want it to look like the top picture (i.e., the default starting view). Any suggestions?
