Back in our talk about gunsights you mentioned a little trick for permanently expanding the view in the cockpit.
You mentioned that if I change the Cockpit View to 1.4 from 1.0 I would get a slightly wider view.
Is this the viewui.xml file in the main OBD Over Flanders Fields folder?
I tried this and it does not seem to work for me.

For Win7 it is under

[your computer name] > AppData > Roaming > OBD_Games > OBDWW1 Over Flanders Fields

Make sure you back-up the original file first. Good luck!

I just use Notepad.
Seems to work fine so far for minor changes.

Notepad and "edit", not "open" to change anything in an .xml file.

If anyone is going to experiment with this I found 1.4 to be a little much for my tastes.
Flying with 1.2 now and and it looks pretty good.
