The stock PoVs are too far aft--as is so often the case with the majority of cockpits. I half jokingly characterize this as the pilot lounging back in the manner of a gang banger cruising East L.A. streets in his lowrider.
Open Body.msh with any text editor, and alter the [HookLoc] section as follows:
[HookLoc]
//0 -10 0 10 0 0 0 0 10 0.0041 0.149 0.4247 //L B U
//0 -10 0 10 0 0 0 0 10 0.0041 0.0283 0.4247
0 -1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0.0041 0.0 0.445
0 -1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0.0041 -0.2 0.445
(Note that the "//L B U" comment tells you that the last 3 of the 12 values move the hook Left, Back and Up, respectively, when those numbers are increased in value.)
This change will move the PoVs for both the 'normal' and 'gunsight' views up 2cm, the 'normal' PoV forward 15cm and the 'gunsight' PoV forward 23cm. The result will be a better view aft.
In conjunction with my expanded 6dof limits in the cockpit class (and especially if you have a 6dof capable head tracker), you will now be able to dogfight far more effectively! The expanded 6dof limit mod, if you don't have it already, is available here:
