FS2002 Cockpit Eyepoints

[RAFAIR100]

Need advice on how to move cockpit eyepoints.      Have made all the recommended keystrokes but nothing happens.      Anyone have any ideas?

[Craig.]

shift+enter and shift+backspace. Then the spacebar to reset the view

In addition to the commands CraigL gave you, uou can use CTRL+SHIFT+BACKSPACE to view left and CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to view right.

My manual tells me CTRL+BACKSPACE moves the eyepoint forward and CTRL+ENTER moves it back.  I don't remember ever using these commands.

If you would like a list of all of the default key commands email me.  It's a 37k .doc file.

You can move the eyepoint permanently if you find yourself using keystrokes to move it on a routine basis. You can do this by changing the location parameters in [views] in the aircraft.cfg file. Also, in the panel.cfg file for the panel you're using, you can raise the seat and see more of the runway by inserting VIEW_FORWARD_DIR= 4,00, 0.00, 0.00 into the [views] section, if it's not already there. Replace the '4' figure with one that suits you - the higher the figure, the higher you sit.

Don't forget to make backups first.

And don't forget the eyepoint only works in the Virtual Cockpit.

[Craig.]

no it doesnt. in the 2d view, they move your seat up and down so you can see over the panel a little easier.

Thanks Andy.       Why didn't Microsoft make this clear?
I know how to move the seat up and down, but I didn't know that eyepoints related to the virtual cockpit.
