ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Trying to trigger Camera pan controls via external apps (no matter whether FSUIPC, AAOs or Mobiflight) it doesn’t have any effect.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

yes

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you?

always - all aircraft, all locations, all states

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. load MSFS 2020 or 2024 in safe mode
  2. place any aircraft in free flight mode
  3. send (>K:PAN_UP) via execute_calculator_code function from external app to sim as described within https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Programming_Tools/Event_IDs/View_Camera_Events.htm

actual
nothing happens - the camera points to the exact same position as before.

expected
The view pans up as with the MSFS internal assigned command “COCKPIT LOOK UP”

YOUR SETTINGS

[PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it?

I tried both. No difference.

[PC, MSFS 2020 Only] Are you using DX11 or DX12?

DX12

[PC Only] What GPU (Graphics Card) do you use?

Doesn’t matter. Tried it with different ones - same effect

[PC Only] What other relevant PC specs can you share?

irrelevant. See Setting Up Cockpit Pan - FSUIPC7 MSFS - The simFlight Network Forums as well.

MEDIA

No screenshot / Videos as it simply doesn’t work. So you won’t see anything happen.

I’ve reported this Bug via Zendesk as Request #252963
It would be really great to get this as a workaround for All controlls disabled while mouse hovers over undocked gauges/panels - #20 by FSC740 finally.

Seems your issue is related to the SDK, in that case I would recommend to report it directly to the dedicated SDK forum: https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/

Topic moved to User Support Hub > SDK since SDK related.
