captjames747 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litjan Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captjames747 Posted July 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Thank you for the info @Litjan Where is the tada viewpoint? I cant see it in planemaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litjan Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
