Similar. When switching to instrument view from external view switching to camera view takes you inside the cockpit when going back to external view you get instrument view. When switching to instrument view from cockpit view takes you to external view. When you switch back to cockpit view you get instrument view (Xbox series X). Need to switch views twice to get to instrument view.
