Microsoft managed to use three different ways to adjust the XYZ coordinates in three different files in CFS 2. Perhaps there was some necessity to do this, but I still find it rather stupifying.
VC Panel (in the aircraft.cfg file):
[VIEWS]
VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=2.5,0.0,0.0
First number = Fore and Aft
second number= Deflection or Horizontal
Third number= Verticle
-------------------------------------
2d Panel (in the panel.cfg file):
[VIEWS]
view_forward_WINDOWS=%window_title_00%
VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=1.6, 0.0, 0.0
First number = Elevation
second number= Deflection
Third number= Fore and Aft
---------------------------------------------
DP File:
[EXTRA.1]
location=-X, Y, Z
effect=fx_Krazy_?_exhaust
X = Deflection
Y = Elevation
Z = Fore and aft.
