A/C Preview

The mind may be going... :icon_lol: When you load FS and select an a/c, you see a preview of the plane. I know I once used a utility to change the view to show the a/c closer. Does anyone know what program I might have used?

I'm trying to improve the preview of the MiG-21F-13, as it's a small spec in the preview window.

Thanks!
 
AFCAD

Open AFCAD
Select "Tools" / "Aircraft Editor"
Scroll down until you find your desired aircraft and select
Change the Aircraft Radius (m) to a [-edit-] smaller [-/edit-] number to increase the view size
Click "OK"

AFCAD will change the perimeters in the "model" for that particular aircraft. A backup model (original) is also created.
 
Increasing the number will make it even smaller - decrease the number to bring the view closer.
