Hi Guys,

Sorry, I did a search, but got a bit confused with the responses in the searched threads.

In my opinion, the default Lear and Caravan have the pilot's seat way too low, and it's hard to see the runway on approach or the taxyway when taxying...

Is there a way that I can 'raise' the eyepoint of the 2D cockpit so that I can see a little better over the dash?  Kind as if I was sitting on a phonebook while flying!

Thanks for yoour help guys
Cheers

...mmm...well, rather than permanently trying to change this, I think the keyboard assignments are IMO a better option..........

Shift+Enter for UP.

Shift +Backspace for DOWN.

.........and a quick dab on Space bar to reset.

.....lots of combinations for all the different movements but gets a bit fiddly for me.

Wow!  That easy hey?  Thanks very much Commoner for your help Sir!

LOL..yes some things really are that easy...commoner

Glenn Copeland's Seat-Adjust gauge is a great little gizmo that can raise or lower the eye view by clicking it.   I've put it in lots of panels  ::)

Thanks Gypsymoth, I'll check it out - thanks very much for your help!

It's Shift+(Scroll Mousewhell) for "seat adjustment".
