Title: Re: Issue with the VC viewpoint subpanel

 Unfortunately the eyepoints are improperly set for the Captain Seat doing this.  When loading the plane initially, the view is perfect.  However, if you switch views to another view, then switch back to Captain View, then your eyepoint ends up in the headrest of the seat (looks centered okay, but too far back).


That's because the seat and the head rest is animated, but the view point is static in the aircraft.cfg
Just move your view point a bit forward using the default MSFS keys or Active Camera.

The other issue with this panel is that any panel state you have with your switches will reset, so hopefully you are not in a critical state of approach or takeoff when doing so.  All lights, animations, etc. reset when using this eyepoint panel, so it would be best for advice to users to get the view they want BEFORE initiating their flight (ergo get your desired view right after loading the sim, then do your flight).


Please do not use the VC VIEWS CONTROL panel inflight.

The VC VIEWS CONTROL primary designed to preset any view position as a default, because it saves in the aircraft files and loads every time you load the 757.

If you use it inflight, after the panel reloads the flight (in order to reload the new selected view) you may get unpredictable problems. We'll add this limitation to the Manual 1.1
