Albert, I have the same problem. Do you also use FSX?
The Viewpoint in some FS9-aircraft is not correct in FSX, you sit "behind" the pilot's seat or even in the cabin. But I don't have a solution besides manually move your viewpoint forward (Ctrl-Backspace, I think).
Then you will be in that place, whre Jon will place his Cockpit. This place is empty no, but at least you can look to all sides
