gtazzed1,
Only thing I can think of to suggest is to try a different pano field. That said, there is a way to set the starting distance of a craft, but I don't remember how off the top of my head and also it's a bit involved if I recall correctly. I know there is a tidbit about this buried in the custom pano FAQ at http://www.inertiasoft.com/fsonefaq/index.html

Another way to get the craft in control is to change the ccpm settings in FSOne. I'll have to look again to see how to do this and post instructions for you.
