i’m trying to make a cockpit view where the camera is moved a bit up from the default which is too low and neither shows the instruments or the view out the window well (citation longitude).
i cannot for the life of me figure out how to translate the camera up and down. it used to be alt and the arrows or something like that.
i looked in the settings and there are only buttons for translate forward/back/left/right is there no way to simply move the camera up and down anymore??
There is a up and down view. Sometimes it just doesn’t work or only moves down.
In the cockpit the new default is shift+Q/E i think or shift+W/A. Just try them all.
You can move it in camera settings. It is native at 50, try moving it to 65.
Try search on here. There is a previous post and solution on this specific issue.
You can increase the default height in the general options.
I’ve noticed that this actually allows it to be higher than what’s possible by using the up/down controls. Weird issue that I’ve been meaning to open a bug on.
Very interesting observation. Thanks for sharing.
In the effort to streamline the client, in FS2024 Microsoft and Asobo have implemented the following feature into the keybinds: Cockpit_Move_Camera_Vertically:
Press Ctrl+A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I+J…this command will rotate your monitor from the Landscape to the Portrait orientation thus allowing your cockpit view to move vertically.

INCREASE COCKPIT VIEW HEIGHT
DECREASE COCKPIT VIEW HEIGHT
hth!
Default keyboard bindings of Shift+E/Q
In Settings, Controls, Keyboard, Camera, Cockpit Camera, set
Translate Cockpit View Forward to [Right-Alt] [Up-Arrow]
Backward to [Right-Alt] [Down-Arrow]
Decrease Cockpit View Height to [Down-Arrow]
Increase Cockpit View Height to [Up-Arrow]
Translate Cockpit View Right to [Right-Arrow]
Translate Cockpit View Left to [Left-Arrow]
You may have to delete other bindings if they interfere.
Save and Reload your view settings for each view you need in each airplane by key settings in Cockpit Camera, Save Custom Camera 0 through 10, and reload them as needed by setting keys in Load Custom Camera 0 through 10.
I use CTRL+ALT+n to save a view and ALT-n to recall that view.
Does anyone know what the events for these are called?
I want to be able to adjust my view height using Axis and Ohs but there doesn’t seem to be an event I can use.
I searched the SDK but there doesn’t seem to be one.
Any default binding for gamepad for this?
In my first post to this topic I listed all six events by name as they are found on the view settings for the sim.
Perhaps I did not explain myself properly: I want to know what are the actually EVENTS (simconnect) are called. I want to use an external program, like AxisandOhs to perform these actions.
I know what to assign the buttons in the sim itself to, but since MSFS still forces me to select a profile each time I start a flight in a new aircrat I want to do these through an AxisandOhs. Others might use SPAD or FSUIPC.
The SDK doesn’t list those, and what it does list doesn’t work.
