Carlos, what I did when I first set up FSX was to establish a configured 'saved' base for all the planes I wanted to fly. FSX starts you out in 'free flight' with the V-cockpit view on the end of the runway at your selected airport. Set your panel to 2-D at this point then taxi it to where you want it parked, then double check your configuration with all systems shut down to 'cold and dark' status, save it at this point. Most of the time after shutdown I save my aircraft with the outside view on display and enter the 2-D cockpit with my F10 key.

I'm not familiar with the seat hight adjustment as I've never played with that setting, sorry I can't comment.

Eye point adjustment

Lower viewpoint ctrl + q

Raise viewpoint ctrl + shift + q

Very fine movements, need to hold it down for a bit to see it move.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Chuck, I'll try that too. Some of the default stuff could use a seat adjustment.
