How to set the main default cockpit view in the F18?

[maverick90]

I find that the default is a bit too close for my liking and would like to move it further back so that I can see the mirrors. How can I changethe default view and save it so that it always goes back to this view when I hit Num+5.

RSHFT+RCTRL + NP Arrows move it up down left right, and RSHFT+RCTRL + NP/* move it FWD and back. Then save it with AltGr + NP 0.

The proper vertical POV height is when, in the top right corner of the HUD, the horizontal part of the crosshair aligns in height with the little dot in the other mechanical pipper.

Just letting you know that your post made a huge difference for me now. My POV was set a few centimeters too low and sometimes the double glass HUD would split the symbology if I looked a bit down... It was indeed too low.

I then corrected to your reference points and it is fantastic. I can even see if the air brake is fully deployed with the upper mirror now and no more symbology being split... and I thought I got it all perfect.

Thank you!

Glad it helped !

Thanks so much for this! One would think that the default cockpit view would have the HUD already aligned.

Also, is there a quick way to view certain parts of the cockpit, such as the left console, right console, etc? I would like to bind them to my mouse for quick access to them.
