Heinkel HE-111 Alternative Default Camera Position
_____________________________________________
I am loving flying the Heinkel HE-111, however trying to line up on a runway is nigh on impossible due to the default camera view. In VR you can simply move your head, but in Pancake, it's irritating. Therefore I have moved the default head position to a more realistic position in terms of the modelling.
- The height has been adjusted to where the eyes would be in relation to the headrest of the seat (Raised, it was too low before)
- The pilots body position has been moved to a more central position in the seat (it was off to the left)
- The Pilots body position has been moved back into the seat (it was sitting on the forward edge before)
The view still has a slight downward tilt, to get a nice view of all the instruments, pedals, yoke etc.
But now, if you line up the Runway in the V created between the Instrument Panel and the Circular frame in the Nose position, you can line up for approach and takeoff much more easily.
I have only tested this on 2024, however I have asked someone to test it on 2020 and if it functions as expected, I will update the Compatibility tag. You are welcome to try it on 2020 at your own risk. As always back up files before overwriting them if you are unsure.

Installation Instructions:
Go to the following location within the Folder:
ipcaptainsim-aircraft-i004\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_HE111
Extract the file (cameras.cfg) and overwrite the original files (Back it up first if you wish to).
Load the game and enjoy the Heinkel HE-111 in MSFS2024 with slightly more visibility.
