Drone camera works great - but in Drone mode none of my aircraft controls work

Hi all,

I had a look at some other posts but nothing I found gave me a solution.

I have drone mode working great with the 737 outside - I can move anywhere I want with ease - no issues at all with the drone itself!

The problem I have is when in drone mode, none of the aircraft controls on my MS sidewinder joystick work … all of them seem to be deactivate while in drone mode - by that I mean the basic flight controls and throttle control, as an example.

Just to clarify - for drone mode I select the MSFS Camera Icon, then Showcase, then Free Camera then Camera Drone (see attached screenshot).

How can I use Drone mode and also taxi around the airport using throttle and nosewheel actions?

Thank you in advance!

Wow - that worked! Thanks for your quick reply.

What is C actually doing ? Turning off Drone mode ?

yeah, it lets you switch between controlling the aircraft, or the drone. one or the other. :slight_smile:

How do you do that on Xbox

Why is this default behavior for this sim? If I don’t have overlapping control mappings, shouldn’t I be able to control both the camera and the plane at the same time? It’s really clunky to have to disable the controls whenever I want to adjust the view angle.
