From the included readme file:

Mosquito night fighter cockpit PoV fix, for 4.12 and later

The stock POVs were ridiculously far back; the 'normal' view could have the virtual pilot's head move BEHIND the seat's armored headrest! And the the same PoV was too high, not permitting to quite see the reticle's center.

The CAMERA and CAMERAAIM view hooks have been both moved forward. The CAMERA hook has been lowered to the same height as for CAMERAAIM, and both are slightly higher than the middle of the sight's reflector plate.

If one does not like these positions, they can be easily tweaked to taste. In the Body.msh and Body8.msh I have made a notation as the the directions the hooks move when the three XYZ values are increased.  "L F U" are Left, Forward and Up. The forward and up positions are the crucial values here, as the PoV is nicely centered on the L-R axis and need not be altered.

The cockpit class has had the 6dof translational view limits increased fairly substantially on all three axes; formerly the default values in the base class were used, and so I added the 6dof limits line of code anew.

Magnificent! Thank you, I'll get to trying this out later! ;D
Well-timed too, I was planning on starting Poltava's Baby Blitz campaign for it pretty soon, now I won't have to use the separate NF Mk II mod in place of the various centimetric Mozzies ]thumleft[

Vamps,
You should know by now that no one needs ever ask my permission to use any of my work for any purpose. Heck, if anyone could even make a buck on it I wouldn't care. 😉
