P-51B and P-51D in game

[red26]

the P-51B and the P-51D canopys are backwards In the B you could not look behind you because of the back of the canopy was not glass the canopy on the D was a like a bubble canopy called a phantom canopy you could see all around you  now in the game when you fly a 51D I cant see behind me at all but in the 51B I can,Is there a way to change this detal???? :O

Red, in every plane you can adjust your head position for any view.

For example, while looking back (2 key on keypad or back on hat) try using forward arrow, then page up. Once you've got the view set to where your happy with it, hit F10. That will then save your view for that plane.

There are view packs available, a quick search of the forums should find you one.

For shorter players, I would recommend a booster chair or a couple of phone books on the seat to give you a little boost to see out the back.

they aren't backwards, you just havent set your views

look back and hold the button down, then hold page up for a bit, till your head cant go up any further, then move your head to the side using the left or right arrow key, and it also helps to hold the down arow key for a bit, once you have your head where you want it, pree f10 to save it. now every time you use that view your head will be in that position for you

if you like i'll zip my .pos files up for you and send them to you, so that you dont need to go setting them all up

[red26]

Ive tried to do that but when I do my wepons wont fire in the middle of my cross hairs maybe Im doing something wroung if you would could you send me that stuff thank you

[red26]

Can someone tell me how to get a cool avitar something with a P-51D in it maybe thanxs guys

[AquaShrimp]

Red26, the arrows on the keypad move your pilots head, the standard arrow keys move your pilots body.  Play around with it, you'll figure it out.

[Wilbus]

Setting the views won't really affect wether the guns fire in the middle of the sight or not Red.

Do what Ghosth said, look back (keep looking back), use Arrow forward key (hold till the view stops moving) then hold page up till the view stops moving. Keep looking back all the time, then hit F10 then release the "view back" key.

By doing this you have set your view.

If you still can't get it to work, do the other thing Ghosth said, do a search for the view packs on the forum.

I still wish I could set the back view in my Corsair to about where the rear-view mirror was on the real plane. It won't let me set it far enough forward or high enough.

Damn ground crew musta got drunk again..........

[TEXN]

Set each view individually, i.e., when looking back adjust side to side with the cursor arrows and height with the pageup and pagedown keys. When you get it how you like it, hit F10 to set that view.
