Common controls for all basic camera type mappings [2024]

Hi all!

On MSFS24 some new camera modes were introduced to explore the world. In fact I now count basically:

  • Drone Cam
  • Free Cam
  • Developer Cam
  • Photo Mode
  • Walkaround Mode
  • Cockpit Cam
  • Exterior Cam

While photo mode and walkaround mode have some special abilities most of all other controls are the same or similar, yet they all come with all different independent mappings by default. I think it’s a bit tedious this way as you either have to change them all to be common or you have to remember/rely on on screen text for each mode.

From my perspective it would be good to rethink these controls as “forwards, backwards, zoom, up, down, left, right, tilt up, tilt down, tilt left, tilt right” are commonly used also across basically all views. At best there would be one common setting for these to rule at least all most basic camera movement controls.
