Press and hold the the right mouse button to pan around with the mouse and use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in/out. There’s also a key on the keyboard to reset view but I’m not at the Sim to check which key binding it is. Just look it up in the controls options for the keyboard. You can search reset view.
thanks, but the plane still sits very low in the view, almost like the center point it slightly above the cockpit. it’s very disorienting.
Normally the camera is centered on the middle of the plane, but as you can see in my screenshot, the center appears to be ABOVE the plane. I haven’t figured out a way to change where the camera is looking in the external view. sigh
