Flightdeck Camera Position

[captjames747]

I have noticed that the default position of which you're "Sat in the seat" is offset to the let and hinders parking and taxiing.

How do I modify this to be more centred in the seat on plane maker?

 

Pics attached to help.

Hi,

it is offset (to the right) on purpose - this allows you to view engine instruments and also see more of the EHSI.

I do not understand why it would make taxiing and parking more difficult - real 737 pilots do not align the taxiway centerline with the center of the EADI or any other "reference point" in the cockit...but I know that this is a habit that some simulator pilots develop . In the real plane it does not work because your head moves around too much, but in a fixed position with a 2D monitor it may.

You can judge "offset" from a straight line by judging the appearant tilt - if the line appears to be vertical, you are aligned with it - if it seems to "lean left" you are offset to the left.

However - to each his own - if you want to adjust the viewpoint you can load the plane in planemaker and adjust the - tada - viewpoint .

Happy landings, Jan

Thank you for the info @Litjan

 

Where is the tada viewpoint? I cant see it in planemaker

[Litjan]

Go to tab "Standard" then "Viewpoint" then set the long arm, lat arm and vert arm of the "pilot's viewpoint".

Let me know if you need further help finding it!

Cheers, Jan
