Looks like the custom camera views aren’t saving correctly, and going forward or backwards from the intended position. Saw a few suggestions to restart the sim after saving new views, or not defaulting the keybindings to all aircraft.
Any fixes for this, or should it be reported as a bug?
Thanks.
Oh it’s definitely a bug IMO. My testing shows that custom views ARE saved correctly for each aircraft, however it seems that whichever aircraft modifies one of the custom views first during a session, “owns” that view for the duration of the session, and ALL aircraft will see the first aircraft’s view and not their own. When the sim is restarted all aircraft see their correct custom views until one aircraft decides to change one of the views which will then “stick” for the duration of the session.
Hope this makes sense, can’t think of any better way to describe it.
100% a bug, we already have another thread going here: Cockpit Camera Resets In Back of Plane - #3 by SinfulDanTheMan
This is super frustrating and makes the sim unplayable!
every time i save a custom view it adds some extra FOV.
msfs2020 did this too. looks like they copy/pasted the same buggy code
Great analysis that makes perfect sense and confirms my experience, too.
How such blatantly obvious bugs made it through their beta testing will remain Microsoft‘s secret.
The game crashes all the time when changing cameras. Play on Xbox
YES…this accurately described it, and also is a large source of confusion as the first plane always WORKS, then subsequent loads gaslight by no longer working and you request
Yep this was how it worked, I was really hoping something as simple as this would have been fixed by now.
I have just retested this in 1.4.14.0 and wonder of wonders it appears to be fixed. I don’t recall seeing anything about it in the patch notes so for me it is a “ninja fix”.
Be interested to hear if it’s working in the latest beta for anyone else.
Edit: Not a ninja fix after all - just found this while re-reading the patch notes.
“Fixed custom view shared with all of the aircraft when created until the game is restart”
