Does your mouse have a scroll wheel. If so, then you can use it to zoom in and out. When you do, your starting vision is the same. It changes the perspective.

Then hit your + or - and it will change how close or far you are.

You can get alot of great views with F1View. Just read the readme or just have fun with it. It also looks better if you use the chase view.

Yep. F1 View is simple yet pretty cool.

You can also use the Shift and Control keys to move the perspective up/down and left/right.

Here's an example of a low perspective with a bit of wide angle. This is called "Short Field? Yeah, Right." This is the PIC 737 sitting on a very short strip.

not only that...
in the Meljet 777, you can go into the virtual cabin

or in other planes (with wings in the VC) you can go get a good wing view

im guessing its like ActiveCamera?

on AC you can walk about the plane (if its got a cabin) also there is head latency so when you pull those g's the head is pulled with it.

Yes, my mouse has a scroll wheel and I got a wing view of my Northwest Airlines dc-9.

can you 'walk' around the plane using the FW/BKWR/LFT/RGT keys on the keyboard? Where can I download F1view? I tried searching, but have had no sucess. Please?

The 3rd picture is inside of a meljet 777 download it for free at library.avsim.com. I have the same thing, although tropicalfish painted the airplane himself (never heard of a Texas Airways 777). They have the meljet 777 in all different liveries: United, British Airways, Delta, Air France, Japan Airlines, Continental Airlines, American Airlines, and many more. By the way, madness, is the picture you sent inside of a project mach 2 concorde?
