I know what you mean by the position being off! I also have to adjust every time I start a new flight, to make it feel more like real life. I mostly fly C172 irl these days, and I usually sit more forward than th default FSX position.
The simple solution :
Just use the FSX controls for eyepoint adjustment. You can find them in the FSX settings (NOT the FlyInside settings!) and bind a hat switch to them or something. The default is:
Move up SHIFT + ENTER
Move down SHIFT + BACKSPACE
Move backward CTRL + ENTER
Move forward CTRL + BACKSPACE
Move left CTRL + SHIFT + BACKSPACE
Move right CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER
Reset* CTRL + SPACEBAR
The better, but slightly more complicated solution:
Edit each aircraft.cfg file. You can find the default eyepoint value under [views] eyepoint = x, y, z. Takes some trial and error to get it right, but once you do, it's fixed permanently. You can also save a flight with adjusted viewpoint, find the offset values in the savefile, recalculate and rearrange and add them to the aircraft.cfg values. It gets complicated. Welcome to the wonderful world of Microsoft coding.

I haven't looked more into it and generally just move my head farther in the direction of the offset and reset the head position. For small offsets it works great. For the planes with big ones I use the hat and then scale back down.
