To change the viewpoint (move, raise or lower the seat height) in the B707, please, try using the following keys:

[SHIFT+ENTER] -----> UPWARD

[SHIFT+BACKSPACE] -----> DOWNWARD

[CTRL+ENTER] -----> BACKWARD

[CRTL+BACKSPACE] -----> FORWARD

[SHIFT+ARROWS] -----> TO SEE AROUND

Hope this helps,

Pinatubo.

Hi cougar.

Go to the aircraft.cfg file in FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B707-300 and change the eyepoint setting, under [views], like this:

[Views]
eyepoint=55.0, -1.6, 5.8 �//55.0, -1.6, 5.55

The red text is the original setting.

I found that raising it to 5.8 did the trick for me, but you might prefer a slightly different height.
NOTE: If you were to change it from 5.55 to 6.55 your view would be 1 foot higher.
