Better eyepoint for A2A Corsair

I'm enjoying the Corsair that was on sale a few days ago. But perhaps I am not the only one who thinks the eyepoint is set too close to the instrument panel? If you think so too -- and maybe this is something that only matters if you fly with TrackIR -- copy your three aircraft.cfg files (in case something goes wrong), name the copies original.aircraft.cfg or similar, and edit aircraft.cfg with Notepad as follows:

[Views]
eyepoint= -6.5, 0, 3.19 // was -5.995, 0, 3.19

This moves the eyepoint back in the seat half a meter; if someone finds a better value, let us know.
 
Not being a huge fan of Track IR, what I have done is map the eyepoint slew commands to three otherwise un-used rocker swiches on my throttle control. Actually two. The left-right eyepoint slew is mapped to a switch on the yoke. I'm always backing the "seat" in the VC, in almost every plane. This makes it easy and painless.

Thanks,much better.I haven'y been flying it a lot for that very reason.
 
At one point in it's development I did the cfg for this aircraft. The real problem is that FSX does not allow as wide a view as FS9, max zoom out is not quite enough if you have a big screen. Try backing up the view point a bit as PRB described (it's what I do) but if you get into the seat back, you see what the real problem is.....

Some folks may not know that FSX has to be set to wide viewing within fsx.cfg. The line "WideViewAspect" either needs to be added, or the end of the line needs to be changed from "False" to "True".

In my case it helped me out quite a bit with my widescreen monitor. In fact I don't zoom out anymore, I have to zoom in.

Anyway the wide view entry sound look like this below:

[Display]
WideViewAspect=True
