This appears to be done without changing the position of the eyepoint relative to the 3D scene (the perspective and distance to the runway remain the same. Can anyone enlighten me as to how this is done, where in the code I can find it, and if it's governed by any properties? >
It is probably that way to make more of the "scene" appear above the 2d panel. You can try playing with some of the values in the configuration files for the panel. IIRC there is a height (y axis) related setting that basically causes the view to be squeezed upwards. You'd see it clearly if the panel texture was transparent because there would be nothing on the bottom part of the screen. Note that if you hit "s" to get that little transparent panel while running aicraft=c172r, the same up/down "effect" will occur because it does not squeeze the view upwards the way the standard panel does.
