Are you referring to the pilot's viewpoint?

If so, look for a section in the Aircraft.cfg that looks like this:

[Views]
eyepoint=-0.5, 0, 2.5

IIRC, it's Longitudinal, Lateral, Vertical for the adjustment order.

I think the section you are looking for is this one:

reference_datum_position=0, 0, 0 // (feet) distance from FlightSim Reference position: (1/4 chord, centerline, waterline)
empty_weight_CG_position=0, 0, 0 // (feet) longitudinal, lateral, vertical distance from specified datum

Changing these numbers will cause a number of changes in FS...be prepared and make a backup first.

If you move the reference in one direction make sure you make a matching movement in the other direction for the CofG...otherwise your plane could be unflyable.
