what can i do to see the view like if I were seat

Post by mvc321 »

what can i do to see the view like if I were seated in a higher chair. I mean I would like to have the view of a taller pilot, or a pilot with a higher chair. I want this because when I�m in approach, i can�t see the runway because I see so much panel and the level of my eyes is so low. Its like If in a real plane my nose were at the same level than the autopilot. So I can�t see the external view

Perhaps I can bend in my chair a little and the push F12. So when I�m seated perhaps the view could be HIGHER!!!!

I�m 1,88 meters tall and I fly with fs2004 with PMDG 737,747, and level D 767

Do you think that this could be a solution?
Any other idea?


Thanks
Somebody has this problem?

Actually that is exactly what I do, when setting up FS9 for myself. It's easy, and takes about 2 seconds.

Do you bend in your chair and then you push F12?

Yep, just crouch down in the seat so your head is lower than normal, look straight ahead and press F12 to center. Then when you sit back up in your normal position your view point will be raised as if you were taller.

Or, if you sit in an office-type chair that can be raised and lowered, you can just adjust the chair height to change your view height.

Center the TIR with the chair at a middle height and you'll have a good view of the instruments without looking down so much for normal flying. Then when you are on approach you can raise the chair up until you have a good view

Or you can use my "lazy man" method, mostly I just sit as tall and straight in the seat as I can when on final, and lean forward a bit - gives a nice view over the dash!

No such thing as a stupid question!

TIR = TrackIR

I agree with Harry, the only stupid question is the one not asked.
