Post subject:  Setting Up X-Plane v9.4 With TH2Go and TrackIR

I just updated to the latest X-Plane and it seems that Laminar and nVidia finally got on the same page regarding Windows Vista/7 drivers because I can now run full screen in 5040x1050.

I fired up X-Plane, set up my TrackIR (nice!) and my TH2Go (nice!). I've used the FoV calc to set my FoV in X-Plane to 117.

With everything set, I dropped into 3D cockpit mode (ctrl-o) and the default view is right on top of the prop (in the Piper) and I cannot find a way to push the default view back a bit so that I can glance down and see the instruments.

What am I doing wrong?

Position your head to face the center of the screen at the distance that is normal for you and press F12. This will set this as the new default position.

I'm fiddling with the demo (v9.45) and will probably post a Confirmed Solution later.
Did you have to input 5040x1050 manually using the arrow buttons or is the res present in the drop-down list ?

I figured out the problem. X-Plane wasn't "taking" my FoV change. It looked like it was in the GUI but it wasn't getting written to the configuration file. I modified the file by hand and now it's working properly.

I had to set the resolution manually because it's not exposed by the TH2Go automatically.
