Actually you have to move your head closer to the HUD to see more of the projected image! The HUD glass is essentially a mirror, and like any mirror you get a wider FOV of the reflected image when you are closer to the mirror.

I have gone back to the A-10A recently, and am finding that I can't see the entire HUD image unless I move my camera very far forward, towards the HUD.  But then I can't see the instruments at all unless I look down, and then I'm viewing them at an angle. Alternatively I can zoom out to a wide FOV, but then I get fisheye distortion. I know my head is far forward because when I turn around I see my head is very far from the seat headrest. It's as if the HUD image is too large. I compared it with the A-10C II and did not have the same issue in that module.

Note that this is a comment/problem associated with viewing the image projected onto the HUD, not the glass itself. I can see the entire glass easily enough with the camera moved all the way back, but then I can't see the tape at the bottom or the IAS or altitude numbers on the sides. All I see is the middle part of the pitch ladder.

Yes, of course, corrected the post.

And you're right. The default view puts your head in position where the HUD is correctly visible but that position is a bit too far forward for the pilot head.

Thank you, for months I have had the top of the HUD at eye level and have to slide down in my chair to see everything properly, like for a rocket or gun run

I know the other aircraft have a seat up/down feature but I hadn't found what you shared!
