For quite some time, I've been experiencing a change in response to my Shift + Enter key commands whenever I want to "raise my viewpoint" or "raise my seat" in the VC. Instead of raising my eyepoint, the Shift + Enter key command moves my viewpoint away from the panel rather than lowering the panel!

Has anyone experienced anything similar? I haven't yet tested whether this anomoly also exists in FS9. I'll check on that in the next few days/hours.

A possible clue might be the fact that I have a small viewpoint utility installed, namely WheelCam 2.7. --- This program is a very basic tool that implements mouse-based panning and eyepoint adjustments, including the ability to move your eyepoint beyond the limits imposed by Flight Simulator X (this feature is good to stroll about virtual cabins of larger aircraft).---which opens automatically whenever I open a new FSX session.

If I am not going to be arranging screenshots, I always close out this utility before setting up my flight parameters.

Any questions, ideas, suggestions will be much appreciated.
