Anyone have any trouble moving the eyepoint on the external view up or down? I do this on FS9 no problem by using SHIFT+ENTER and SHIFT+BACKSPACE, but it doesnt seem to work on FSX!
Note this is for the external view, not the aircraft view (works fine on the aircraft view)

any tips?

hit shift F10 to bring up the kneeboard and it will tell you all.

move back = ctrl enter
move forward =ctrl backspace
move down = shift backspace
move up = shift enter
reset = ctrl space
etc.

Hope this helps

Problem exists for me as well. THose commands seem to only work in the virtual cockpit for me on any aircraft.

well for those who care I figured it out (actually stumbled into it)
you have to go to LOCK external view mode and then use the arrow keys (with numlock on) to move the view or "pan" around the aircraft.....

Anyone know how to alter the seat height for the 2D cockpit? These commands only do the virtual cockpit.

I find the virtual cockpit ugly and hard to read making flying from it annoying at best. Problem is on lots of aircraft its impossible to see the ground through the window at all with default settings (737, cessna etc).

Pretty much destroying the game for me at the moment unless that can be fixed.

Edit:- Ive found CTRL SHIFT Q / CTRL Q which works but every time i use the hat to look left/right it resets it when i go back to 2D forward view.

Is there any way to save this?
