A few of us can make emergency Box space available, as Gimi and I did for Griff - I'm currently at 32% this month.

I'm sure Svengali won't mind if I put a very temporary link for CCL 1.7 here - if not, I'll remove it.

Try this:

Go into the x-ships.oxp/Config folder and open shipdata.plist in your favourite text editor (at least you're not using Windows, so we don't need to worry that you might use Notepad).

Scroll down until you see <key>python-x-player</key>

Look for the following section:

Code: Select all

		<key>view_position_aft</key>
		<string>0.0 12.92 -51.65</string>
		<key>view_position_forward</key>
		<string>0.0 17.4 -6.89</string>
		<key>view_position_port</key>
		<string>-5.21 16.77 -8.53</string>
		<key>view_position_starboard</key>
		<string>5.21 16.77 -8.53</string>

The third number in the <string> that comes after view_position_forward, (in this case, -6.89) is the one that affects how far forward/back your view position is located. The unit is ship-metres. To move the view forward, reduce the value until the nose no longer obstructs your view. I'd suggest going with decrements of 0.5 at a time. Things should improve well before you get into positive figures.

(The reason the number is negative is because the view-position is located aft of the mid-point)

After each change you make, when you restart Oolite, hold down the shift key until you see the spinning Cobra. That forces Oolite to rebuild its' cache. Otherwise your changes won't take effect.

Let us know how you get on, and what value works for you.

What do the other two numbers in these strings represent? I'm trying to resolve an issue I found in Smiv's Shipset v4 when flying the Anaconda - the view_position_forward and the weapon_position_forward values were the same so I was blinded by my forward laser every time I fired it

• Position on the X axis (-port/+starboard)
• Position on the Y axis (-bottom/+top)
• Position on the Z axis (-aft/+forward)
