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.
