“Eye Position” requirements established by McDonnell Douglas in the
flight manual. (You can see this information and double check the eye
position for yourself by going into the Flight Crew Operating Manual, and
viewing page INTRO.00.8!)
In the Captain’s position within the Virtual Cockpit, we recommend that
you do two things:
•
Select a view zoom (+/- keys) of 0.70 or 0.60.
•
Disable pilot head motion within FSX. (Pilot head motion makes
it difficult to operate certain buttons within the VC accurately.
Pre-Formatted views included with this version are as follows:

We have found during our own testing of the aircraft that the Virtual
Cockpit is generally easier to use if you can turn your head to look around
the cockpit using the hat-switch on a joystick as your view controlling
device. To reset the view position, simply press “CTRL+SPACE.”
