Trying to set a realistic pilot view

[Fisherman82]

Im trying to make a snapview for a realistic default view, a view that I would se if I was sitting in the real aircraft. I have been sitting in a real one but the seat must have been lowered as much as possible because I sat to low so I cant compare to that.

 

How should the view be to be realistic? If I look at the pilot in the external view and on photos of real pilots I think it looks like the pilots eyes are in the same height as the top of the side mirrors and over the top of the HUD-glass. If I set the seat height like that I cant really see anything in the HUD. Should I not be able to see the flight path indicator when in level flight and the HUD-glass in the raised position? My default view is like in the picture now, I can then see stuff in the HUD but my eyes are lower then the real pilots, if I turn my head my eyes are about level with the underside of the lower of the two headrests.

I think you can lower the seat and raise the seat, you just need to map the keys for those actions

Guess it is WIP, but the cockpit buttons aren't clickable and the keys can only be assigned to keyboard, not joystick buttons...

Strange - I can't assign any joystick buttons at all for this function - the related box isn't clickable for my Warthog hotas.
