I don't know why your view would be like that. I raised the "eyepoint" a bit to get a slightly better view over the glare shield though.

I would suggest you check you aircraft.cfg file and make sure the "eyepoint" is set correctly. Open aircraft.cfg with a basic text editor (I use notepad) and go to this section:

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

The colors represent: my setting and original setting.
Make sure yours are the same as in the red text.

Hope this helps.
