Hi John,

you can define many more positions for the scenery.

Open the .GEO with WORDPAD, you'll find these lines:

START_POSITION 5 0 -1 0 0 0 1.65 noheli
START_POSITION 0 8 -1 250 0 0 1.65 noairplane
...

Value 1 is the forward/backward aircraft position from the center point, here 5 metres forward.
Value 2 is the left/right parameter, here 0 shift to left/right.
Value 3 is the height, -1 sets aircraft directly to the surface.
Value 4 is rotation of aircraft, here points the nose directly away from pilot.

Value 5 is forward/backward of pilot position, here in center.
Value 6 is left/right of pilot position, here in center.
Value 7 is height of pilots' eyes, here 1.65 metres.


But we have to distinguish between 3D- and foto sceneries.
In 3D-landscapes you can define free positions for aircraft and pilot.
In foto sceneries the pilot should be located close to the center.

noheli/noairplane specifies the start position excluding helis or airplanes.
