Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere…or if there is a simpler way of doing this…but this may be of help to some.
I have had problems working out hot to customise the default head position in VR. I know that I can set up custom camera positions and recall them, but I wanted to set the position of the default camera and couldn’t figure out how to do this.
One solution that I have found is to manually change the the cameras.cfg file for each aircraft.
This can be found in your packages folder. For steam users it should be something like C:\Users{YOUR USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight SimulatorD\Packages. Then within there look for the folder of the aircraft you wish to change. For the Cessna it is: \Official\Steam\Asobo-aircraft-c172sp-classic\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_C172sp_classic\cameras.cfg
Before you change this file make sure you keep a copy in case anything goes wrong.
If you open the file in notepad you will see the settings for a number of cameras. Look for the PilotVR camara. For the Cessna this camera number 30 right at the bottom. Within that camera you will find settings for InitialXyz coordinates. I have changed mine to 0.041,0.076, 0.225…
Now when I go into VR my head is in the correct position straight away. Hope this is of help.
