French term
exocentrés
Dispositif électronique d’affichage de symboles exocentrés, procédé d’affichage et produit programme ordinateur associés.
Further context:
Ainsi, avec le dispositif électronique d’affichage selon l’invention, le pilote peut voir, sur un système d’affichage, qu’il soit tête haute ou tête basse, des positions tridimensionnelles relatives de l’aéronef et de la zone d’atterrissage sans gêner la visualisation de la zone d’atterrissage du fait de l’exocentrage.
Exocentric anybody?
Confirmation or other suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA Chris.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Since Wikipedia doesn't measure up to Daryo's high standards, here are a couple of examples.
The paper describes experimental evaluation of a multi-mode 3-D exocentric synthetic vision navigation display concept for commercial aircraft.

: it is the right term, but you gave a terminally wrong explanation (even worse than a plain wrong term) // wrong as in **NOT APPLICABLE TO THIS ST** //"... you imagine a pilot flying an airplane in virtual reality, while actually sitting in the cockpit???

If you think Wikipedia is "terminally wrong", why don't you rewrite it?

That comment was about an English-English question where you simply repeated the source term without explaining it. I haven't repeated anything - I've given a translation and a definition.

Discussion
The meaning given by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exocentric_environment has NOTHING to do with this text.
It's about a variant of Virtual reality where instead of wearing some kind of headset / head-mounted display you are placed in the middle of space completely surrounded by rear projection screens. That might be good for a drone pilot, but is certainly not for a pilot actually sitting in a cockpit.
And the meaning relevant for this ST where on one of many displays in front of the pilot you can see an external/third person view of the airplane itself and of what's in front of it.
Because it's kind of a one-to-one translation, it appears falsely simple. It's an unusual one!
Thank you, Chris.
