Default VFR Camera completely messes up all the cameras on every plane

  1. Description of the issue:
    When changing the default VFR view on the A321 Neo from Ini Builds, it messed up all the default cameras of ALL the other planes, including the quick IFR cameras (shift+1, shift+2 etc with the msfs 2024 keyboard layout or control+1, control+2 with the msfs 2020 keyboard layout)

  2. Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
    No addons at all other than default msfs installation

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you? (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)
Ever since I made the mistake of changing the VFR view, I even reinstalled the sim and the cameras are still all sorts of messed up

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Load into any plane
  2. Assign a hotkey to change the default VFR view
  3. Move the camera as needed and use the hotkey assigned, the new camera should be whatever you moved it to when centering the view.
  4. Now all views from all the planes are messed up

[PC Only] What GPU (Graphics Card) do you use?
RX 6600

Please add a screenshot or video of the issue occurring.
New VFR camera on the a330


When pressing shift+1 for first instrument view I get this camera

Shift 2 I get this

Shift 0 for instance

I tried to delete the cameras folder and it did nothing, I also installed the sim again and I have the same issue, so annoying, this used to work just fine on msfs 2020 and I dont even know what to do to fix the issue

Same here, please fix this, it is really important because the default cockpit cameras are not perfect for everyone.

I’m experiencing the same problem. I set a key command for “VFR PILOT VIEW SAVE” and used it to adjust the default view in the Cessna 152. Now the default camera positions in all other aircraft are broken. The camera is far behind the pilot seat, outside the aircraft in some cases.

This problem needs to be resolved. I cannot figure out how to fix it, and it has rendered all my planes besides the 152 unusable.

As noted in the thread here, I figured out how to fix the broken cameras. I assigned a key command for “VFR PILOT VIEW RESET.” This enabled me to return the camera viewpoint to the default for that plane. (I had tried this before, but somehow accidentally set the key command incorrectly.) So there is a way to reset the broken cameras, but this feature is still bugged.

EDIT: Upon further testing, even this fix does not seem to work consistently. I tried setting the camera in the Savage Cub, then after switching to other planes, realized that the VFR PILOT VIEW RESET command was not working to fix the broken cameras in the other planes. Upon restarting the sim, however, the cameras were fixed.

I also did that but it did not fix all the cameras from all the other planes and the quick instrument cameras are still all sorts of messed up
Im pretty sure the cameras are backed up on the cloud which is really annoying!!
