[Question] External View Camera Settings

[EmperorDragon]

I love the fact that we finally have a proper third-person/chase view in an X game but, some ships obscure the view, being right in the center of the screen. A quick fix would be to move the camera position upwards so that the ship is lower on the screen, like usually the case with space sims or other third-person games.

There are some camera settings in the preferences.xml file but, modifying these settings have no effect. Is this the correct file to modify or is it defined elsewhere? I just can't find any camera settings anywhere else.
