Is There Anyway You Can Change Where Your View In The VC? I Downloaded An Add-on That Gives The TBF Cowl Flaps, Folding Wings, Tailhook, And A Pilots View VC. But This Is What I Get

You can move it anywhere you wish by tweaking the Aircraft.cfg [Views] entries in Notepad. This will involve a little trial & error so start off with small changes & check it out in the sim each time.
This is an example from the default Wildcat. The words after the // are tips & instructions.

Post them if you like. Without having the aircraft I can only guesstimate from your shots. Wink

The idea is to put the viewpoint inside the pilot's head.
