How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? All the time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Press the Cockpit/External camera mode switch control to switch between chase cam and cockpit camera. This is working as expected.
  2. Press the Switch to Drone cam button to switch to the Showcase camera. This is working as exected.
  3. While in the Showcase (Drone) camera mode, press Cockpit/External camera mode switch. Before the beta and the expected behaviour is that it should switch to the Fixed Showcase camera mode. But the current issue is that pressing it while in the Showcase Drone camera mode, it will bring back to the Cockpit or Chase camera.

My issue is related, but it is on XBox Series X. When I switch to the drone camera, then use that camera view for a minute or two, a few minutes, the Sim often locks up completely in SU2 1.4.9. If it does not lock up, it tends to lead to performance loss that eventually leads to ending the flight. I have a 128 GB rolling cache. I can be either flying or parked at a gate. The result is often the same. With that said, I can fly often for hours until I enter the drone camera view.
