A long time ago (Nov 2020) I tried to document the “state machine” of all this camera view switching:
It seems like since way back then some changes have been made, features got added (e.g. the HUD view) … and some new bugs have been introduced too. What I have found so far is this list:
- “Load Custom Camera X” … acts like a “Toggle Custom Camera X”
- “Load Next/Prev Custom Camera” … sometimes act in reverse order (hard to reproduce reliably)
- “Toggle Landing Pilot View” … does nothing
- “Toggle Landing Pilot View (Hold)” … acts like “Toggle IFR Pilot View”
- “Toggle VFR Pilot View” … jumps to “Landing View” and when I release the button it snaps back to “VFR Pilot View”
- “Toggle VFR Pilot View (Hold)” … is not (Hold) but a regular toggle
- “Toggle IFR Pilot View” … is OK
- “Toggle IFR Pilot View (Hold)” … is OK
- “Landing Pilot View Save” … applies some strange movement during save … and then (naturally) saves the wrong position
- “Hold Hud View” … function not tested … but why does it deviate from the regular naming conventions … should be “Toggle Hud View (Hold)”
(all have been tested with the King Air and my HOTAS controllers … and some I retested with the H145 … on sim release 1.25.9.0)
There might be even more issues in this topic area (cams and views). I have not (yet?) retested all command bindings.
Trouble is … almost all of this worked just fine a long time ago. Let’s hope it will not take years to get those (cut-paste-refactor?) bugs fixed.
