Moved to User Support Hub as this topic has morphed into a “how-to” to get the 3rd-person view to work.
Player Character

This fonction plainly don’t work.
It does work on my PC.
How do you get 3rd person view with Xbox controler on Xbox série ? Expérimental advanced option is not available
Thanks
I found that if you enable Avatar 3rd Party View in MSFS2024 on PC you also get Avatar 3rd Party view in MSFS2024 on XBOX

That’s interesting why it’s set as default differently for some people - perhaps based on keyboard/locale? For me it is BACKSPACE whereas it was/is END in FS2020. Trouble with using BACKSPACE is that when using something that takes keyboard input, like changing values in the EFB, then the bindings are still active, so if you start editing vales and deleting using BACKSPACE then the view toggles back and fore between cockpit and external - switched mine back to END.
Probably some folks are using the 2020 keyboard. Has different keystrokes.
Is there a way to hide the key labels at the bottom of the screen?
It would be great if the label could be hidden (would work like the rest of the labels and disappear). It’s even worse in the new built (SU2 beta)!
For more realistic character movement, use these bindings.
