Cockpit Viewing Height - How to adjust?

In the Camera settings, Camera Height.

Exactly that - the default camera position is too low but that setting will adjust it for all aircraft.

I made a wishlist post for it ages ago but it didn’t gain much traction:

Correction to Default Seat Height - Pilot Camera / Eyepoint / Viewpoint

It’s a simple fact, the default camera for the “Pilot” view is set far too low in every aircraft, to the point that it obstructs the ability to fly well. I realise this is to give a clear view (almost an IFR view) of the instruments for people that can’t easily move the view around, and that ‘Space’ on the keyboard can be used to temporarily raise the seat height. Also, I know that you can permanently raise the seat height across all aircraft, in the menu under General > Camera > Cockpit, but …

Unfortunately, the child-sized pilot view looks like it’s destined to be the default forever…

I decided to re-run a couple of the new training flights recently, just out of curiosity. On the attitude lesson there are red lines in front of the pilot, to mark the horizon and climb/dive attitude, which are modelled as if they are drawn on the windscreen, but with anything other than the default camera height of ‘50’ means the lines are in completely the wrong place for the lesson! Not very useful… I made a Zendesk report for it.
