Need help with Mosquito Start up View

[MisterMac]

Hello, I have been trying to do a cold start with the mosquito but I am struggling to view the engine controls behind the pilots seat. I am using a tobii 4c eye tracker and it will not let me look far enough over. I tried messing with the snapviews but I am struggling to figure it out effectively. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I know that I could key bind the necessary controls but there is something about doing it through the cockpit that appeals to me. Thanks

Swith to navigator seat, or use keybindings for the fueltank selection

I find that for piloting, the shifted “gun sight”  position give me better view of the instruments and easier access to the relevant controls/switches than the default pilot position - e.g., slip/turn indicator is very hard to see from the default “port side” head position, while from the gun-sight position it is just a slight lean to the right to view it. I just pilot the plane from this position all the time.

Some switches/instruments can only be accessed from the observer’s seat. I highly recommend binding the two fuel switches to some convenient keys/buttons - you will want to be able to quickly switch inner/outboard tanks while busy with piloting. Most of the other “starboard seat” operations can be done at leisure with the mouse.

Yes,as Bozon,prior to take off,I too switch on gunsight,I find it gives me a more central view of the runway for take off,and as said,the instruments are better viewed too.....but I also dim the reticle so that it does'nt show....turning it up bright once I've set the aircraft up,once airborne etc,ie wheels up,flaps up and all trimmed out.

I too have also bound two keys to enable access for pilot/observer's seat for better orientation to get to the fuel switches etc.

Thanks everyone, I ended up binding the necessary keys and now start up is much easier. If only I could get this beauty off the ground consistently.
