The new armored cockpit puts the third person view way (way way!) up above the ship. I can't even see the ship. I've uploaded a couple of pictures to show what I mean. The third picture shows the view from the cockpit.
Page up and page down raises and lowers the height of the 3rd person viewpoint. Are you not able to lower it with page down?
Thank you! I went back in, and it "magically" resolved, and then I was able to fine-tune it with the page-up and page-down keys. I'm not sure what was going on before.
There are a LOT of little bugs/quirks in the game that magically resolve themselves after reloading the game. Unfortunately those are the hardest ones to track down and resolve since they don't get preserved in the save.
