Is there some way to change the default seat height in our Viper?

 

I find myself lowering the seat a bit, everytime I step in the cockpit. The default seat height is so high, that I can completely see the entire IFF antennas, and as far as I can recall form my time at the RNLAF (as a mechanic, not pilot unfortunately 😉), that normally wasn't the case.

System specs:

 

i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU

HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3

Mine is set low when I start so I have to raise it. I find that I have to adjust it every single time. No biggie, just like IRL I guess, with pilots being all shapes and sizes now. Maybe it's just our individual setups! 

DO it or Don't, but don't cry about it. Real men don't cry!

you can set your default camera height. press numpad 5, then use right cntrl+shift 9 or 6 to set raise and lower the camera. Once you have the height you want press right alt+numpad 0 to save it.

I don't think that would work well with the nice new pilot body.

But as @Jackjack171 said, it's no biggie. Only for quick training missions (where you start airborne), it would be handy to start at the desired seat height.

Works fine for me because I don't use the pilot bodies. They just get in the way.
