That will be changing real soon now. As a temporary measure, try starting with something like this: fgfs --aircraft=c172-3d-set.xml --prop:/sim/view/goal-tilt-offset=-5 When my new mouse code is finished, you'll be able to keep your mouse view if you wish (it will be fully configurable, so you can set it to do all kinds of things). Right now, I have rebound my arrow keys to control the view offset and tilt, since I never fly with the keyboard anyway. > Looks fine; you can check the geometry since it's a 75" diameter. > However, we _really_ need to blur the thing, it looks downright stupid.

I'm thinking along the same lines: in addition to the prop object, make two disks, one with the blade outlines still partly visible, and one with everything very blurred, then switch among them based on RPM. That will require some changes to model.cxx, though, and I want to work on the mouse changes first. > > Should I add a cup > > holder? > > No; we _do_ need to implement leaning the head to look round the yoke, > so we can add the yoke, and the instrument plate clip and other stuff. When the new mouse code is ready, you'll be able to use the mouse to move the view position as well as the view angle. At first, it won't be tied to the hinges of the human body, but we can implement that next if we want to.
