Camera views

[simmi53]

Can anyone tell me how to get this view on the default aircraft - this is the default 747 (from a post by donovan @ flight-sim-central -I'm not registered there...so thought I'd ask here )

I guess the left side window camera-definition needs changing in the aircraft .cfg file?

Cheers for any ideas..

Hey thanks Stiz, I'll have a go & post another pic if I'm successful )

'K, I did it.. thanks stiz - only thing I found was on the Xyz axis: the second set of numbers move the camera up & down (not fore & aft), & the third set of numbers move the camera fore & aft (not up & down)
If anyone else wants this view with the 747 it's:
open the 747 aircraft.cfg file with notepad (make a copy!)
go down to [CameraDefinition.1]
Look for line: InitialXyz = -5.5, 0.75, -13
Change to: InitialXyz = -5.5, 0.75, 6.5

Save changes..

When initially selecting that view (with S & A keys) you'll need to swivel the view back to the engines with the hotas-knob on your joystick/yoke
took a bit of trial & error to sort that, but thanks again :ernae:
