I see your point. But the "cockpit camera" have nothing to do with "bridge pilot camera". If that is what you are talking about - then that is NOT under my hands to solve because it requires all .cmp Ship files to have their "cockpit camera" properly changed.
For example - most capital ships have it "centered". Imagine Kusari Battleship - directly in its center in the middle part is the cockpit. Is that making any sense? No, but that is how it was done. Possibly they might fix that in future but I doubt its of such an issue overall.
The way it looks from your image is fine and I really don't see why the frustration. Look the image below, perspective is same from driver point of view.
Just because custom-ships like all caps and some traders are having their cockpit placed...with sarcasm "inside the engine" - does not mean it was an issue with my project which reveals what is inside a ship. These are two different things.
