The captain's view of the Cessna 172 is too low.

I absolutely love flying my Cessna through the valleys of Aerofly or spending half a day flying along the coastline. The C172 is fantastic 😋, but the captain's view seems too low, making it difficult to judge the descent rate during landing and easily leading to a hard landing. Also, I can't see the road ahead, so I prefer using the copilot's view during takeoff, landing, and taxiing 🥲. Therefore, I'd like to increase my view relative to the aircraft's altitude, but as a global player, I don't have access to the Aerofly FS internal files, and the same applies to the Baron 58, which also has a low view. So, I can only implore IPACS to appropriately increase the captain's view.

Its performance on FSG

Just like the view effect in the C172 tutorial that IPACS made for our players.

I don't think this will make it difficult for us to see the instruments, because the C172's instrument panel is really big and clear!

（By the way, could we FSG players get such realistic and immersive normal maps on the C172? The sun visor on the C172 is really great! And there are many other excellent textures as well. One final question is whether a Cessna 172 with GPS capabilities will be put into service later. Currently, it seems to still use traditional steam-powered instruments, resembling a series of clocks, while the GPS-equipped and new avionics-equipped C172 has a much cleaner instrument panel and can also perform RNAV approaches.）

Are you on IOS?

I'm using an Android device, and while I can install some mods, the C172 aircraft files should be in the installation package, but I can't do anything with them, even adding sound effects or anything like that.

Here is a small addon that adjusts the camera height for the pilot of the C172.

This file does not change the original file of the FS 4, but is an addon for the personal user directory, which is always started automatically when the C172 starts:

• '/.../Aerofly FS 4/aircraft/c172/alternative_camera_height_pilot'

The content in the 'parameters.tmd' includes only a few lines. As already described in another post, the last (third) value in the line <[tmvector3d][R0][ 0.62 0.23 0.60 ]> is the height (z-axle) and can be changed at any time.

Code

<[file][][]
    <[modelmanager][][]
        <[pointer_list_tmuniverse][DynamicObjects][]
            <[camera_head][CameraPilot][]
                <[tmvector3d][R0][ 0.62 0.23 0.60 ]>
            >
        >
    >

Good luck.

This is a great method. I might be able to use it to install mods when I buy a computer and play Aerofly again (I've also learned how to change the camera's orientation).

This is howi it looks in my iPad, what device are you using?

Edit: now I understand, you are right! Thanks for the ideas to improve it in PC.

Do you think the view will be improved? I really like C172.😢
