It would be great if I could manage the Comet just like the 1-11 purely out of the VC using my TrackIR but unfortunately it doesn't work.
I can't set the Cabin Altitude and some two or three other switches because the FO's seat is in the way.
What does he need a seat - I fly singlehanded operations ...
:roll:
I know you provided us with a quick 'move around in VC' technique but with TrackIR that doesn't work properly

Since you are using TrackIR, I suggest using the FSX "CameraDefinitions" along
with "HotKey" assignments to move about the cockpit.
In the FSX controls menu under Settings - Controls, Buttons/Keys there are entries for
assigning keystrokes and/or joysick buttons to select differnet views. These views
are then linked to "CameraDefinition" entries in the aircraft.cfg file via
the "HotKeySelect=" statements added to the CameraDefinition.
You can tailor each CameraDefinition to place you wherever you want in the VC,
defining pan rates, view angles, etc.
I add three CameraDefinition statements to every aircraft I use in FSX
and adjust each for the desired placement...right seat, overhead panel,
console, FE station...just a few of the possibilities.
I have an X-45 stick/throttle and use the #2 hat switch on the stick to
change my VC views. With a flick of my thumb I move around the VC.
Below are the three CameraDefinitions I have for the Comet 4B. You could
use them as a guide and adjust them to your liking.
