Tweaks

To remove the big grey blob from the ADCK version rear view (due to the view being located inside the rear engine!) try changing the aft view in the shipdata.plist from

<key>view_position_aft</key> 
<string>0.0 20.0 -31.0</string>
to (Dertien's tweak)
<key>view_position_aft</key> 
<string>0.0 15.0 -51.0</string>
or to (Slartibartfast's tweak)
<real>25</real>
<key>view_position_aft</key> 
<string>0.0 0.0 -35.0</string> 
  • See How to tweak OXZ's if you need more details
