I am just getting the hang of the new VC10. My main problem is that in 3D panel my viewpoint is too close to the instrument panel and when I move my viewpoint backwards (CTRL + Backspace) I end up with the (Left) seat between me and the instruments. Is there any way of getting rid of the seat??? I am sure it applies to many FSX aircraft but it seems worse in the VC10

Rather than moving the viewpoint (which is set correctly - in most aircraft when you are looking out through the windscreen you will get the top of the instrument panel at most in your peripheral vision), try adjusting the zoom. That should allow you to do very little panning to see the instruments.

Dear Paul
Many thanks for the tip. I had looked through the FSX key commands looking for an alternative solution but must have missed this ZOOM function. This certainly solves the problem.
Many thanks for your help
