Welcome! It’s a really complex system so I totally understand your frustration. It’s best to break it down in to the individual Views (Cockpit, Instrument, External, Drone / Showcase) and experiment with Control bindings for each (make sure to use the “All” filter and Search) to understand how each works.
A couple of tips that might help (or not!):
- Make sure your controller “Hat” is bound to the “Cockpit Look” commands and not the “Cockpit Quicview” ones.
- You can actually access and change Control bindings while inside the live sim (use Esc to get to the main menus). This is helpful if you are trying to fine tune or debug things.
- Adding an Xbox Game Controller (wired or wireless) makes controlling the Drone Cam and Slew really easy and intuitive! MSFS immediately recognizes it and sets up all the bindings by Default.
