When switching from 2D view to Virtual Cockpit view, the default view is a little bit behind the Captain Seat ! (on this picture you can view the back of the seat at the bottom of the screenshot) How can I change this parameter in the config files in order to have the correct view (without moving forward with active camera) ie like I was siting in the Captain Seat when switching from 2D to 3D ?

"Hi, I finally found it. For those who are interested, you have to edit the ""panel.cfg"" file and add the following line in the [views] part of the file : VIEW_FORWARD_EYE=0.000, -0.100, 0.250 You can adjust the numbers to fit your choice (For me those numbers are more realistic). - The first group of number is for lateral position in the virtual cockpit, so you can set it to be in the copilot seat if you want. - The second group is for Height position. - The last group stands for forward or backward position. I have put the view a little forward. [Views] VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.9 VIEW_FORWARD_EYE=0.000, -0.100, 0.250 VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=05.5, 0.0, 00.0 VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,RADIO_STACK_PANEL,20,COMPASS_PANEL Next step will be to test it on the second leg of my Atlas Air Flight <!--emo&:D-->[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]<!--endemo--> And I'll post a picture for you later ! Regards / Stéphane"
