Pilot body head position vs. HUD

[VC]

I recently got back to flying Flankers a bit and tried turning on pilot body in cockpit for extra immersion, since I don't need to click the cockpit anyway.

 

But I ran into a problem with the body/view position. The default head position looking straight through the HUD has the eyes somewhere in the pilot's chest. If I move the head position around so it is logically above the shoulders of the pilot 3D model in the cockpit, I can't see most of the HUD because I'm too high.

 

Looks like the seat is not in the right position for how tall the pilot 3D model is, or something else is up with the proportions.
