Pilot Eyepoint
Hi to all,
So, i finally did it and built a basic Captain's side only structure. I have an Infocus X8 projector mounted on the ceiling, but with the size of the room, i have the pit quite close to the wall. Because of this, the projected image is a little high on the wall in order to clear the glareshield.
The horizon line is a lot higher than the level of my eyes and i wondered if anyone knows how to move it down in the FSX settings?
I have tried moving the eyepoint setting up already, but this just makes me higher above the ground without changing the horizon.
Is there a setting where i can change the pitch of my view to look upwards a little?
I appreciate any help i can get with this.
Thanks.
Regards
Benja
P.S. I will be posting some pictures soon.

Hi Benja,
Try Pan Up - Ctrl+Shift+Q
or Pan Down - Crtl+Q
Also:
Zoom in - =
Zoom Out - -
Eyepoint Up - Shift+Enter
Eyepoint Down - Shift+Backspace
You will probably need to experiment a bit to get the view you need - than save flight as default to save the view points.

Hi Benja
Also if you play with the views in the aircraft.cfg file:
[Views]
eyepoint = 82.50, 0.00, 5.80
the third number is for up/down.

Go to
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX
and find the file Cameres.cfg
Change the two lines (look the arrows)
Title = Cockpit
Guid = {B1386D92-4782-4682-A137-738E25D1BAB5}
Description = This is the description of the cockpit view
Origin = Cockpit
ShowPanel = Yes
SnapPbhAdjust = Ordinal
SnapPbhReturn = True
PanPbhAdjust = Swivel <----- change the
PanPbhReturn = False <------ two lines
Track = None
ShowAxis = FrontOnly
AllowZoom = TRUE
InitialZoom = 1.0
SmoothZoomTime = 2.0
ShowWeather = Yes
XyzAdjust = TRUE
ShowLensFlare=FALSE
Category = Cockpit
HotKeySelect=2
Also you can play with the rate:
PitchPanRate = 30
HeadingPanRate = 75
change the 30 and the 75 in the rate that is best for you.
i hope this is that you are looking.
Regards
Lambis
