Hi,
Each time, when inside the sim or outside typing something with “F” in it, msfs camera always resets the zoom inside the cockpit … i already deleted any F-Key related settings in the control section of the msfs settings… someone any idea? it drives me crazy …
thx
Edit: Its the “Reset Smart Cam” setting … no keyboard shortcut in the settings, but is still working when pressing “F”
My f key is Reset Fixed Camera.
and
Reset External View - second choice
Reset Cockpit View - second choice
I deleted any bindings of the F Key … it still resets the zoom inside the cockpit to the default value… and the “F-Key” is the only key, which is active when msfs is not focused e.g. when browsing, or being in navigraph charts (desktop) … it always resets the zoom level … it’s a bug !
Tried it but cannot duplicate it.
Sitting on the runway.
Roll mouse wheel forward until I am outside the cockpit.
Click Chrome Browser
Type f key several times as search argument
Go back to FS2020
Still sitting forward outside cockpit
Press the F key and it resets the zoom
It’s been a year, but I can replicate this 100% of the time and it drives me nuts. I also have everything unbound from the F key, but tapping F either in sim or in some other app like Discord will reset my view. I can’t tag OP, so question for anyone else who has this: Do you have more than one keyboard profile? I’m wondering if the issue is that F is still bound in the default profile and is overriding the other profiles. I’ll test it out next.
Some additional context: F does a lot in the default bindings from drone translation to DME to resetting various views. I’ve removed all of those settings and saved my profile and still have it reset the view.
Still an issue, very disappointing and replicated 100% of the time with the latest version of FSRealistic Pro. It seems to be related to the app, not MSFS itself as with FSR off the issue doesn’t happen.
Super annoying.
Yep, using the FS Realistic trial and the same thing happens. Very annoying. Can’t stop the eff key from zooming. I wonder if the FS Realistic devs can do anything about it.
Deleting the “F” binding for the “Reset Cockpit View”, if I click on “F” then reset cockpit view does not work anymore. Have deleted this one ?
Yes, it’s deleted from all controls, not just keyboard:
Yet whenever “F” is pressed (even when MSFS window is out of focus) the camera will reset. Very strange bug. And it’s well known and it affects many, ref. https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFlightSim/comments/1acj06u/fsrealistic_worth_it/ where it has many reports about it.
Ok so this is still an issue for me in 2020, even after confirming the keybindings were removed.
But after reading through that Reddit post, I exited FSRealistic and immediately noticed that the view didn’t change whenever I pressed F. The zoom was changing for me even when MSFS wasn’t in focus, too! Though in my case it was FSRealistic causing the problem. Never noticed it before I had FSRealistic.
Unbelievably enough, this is STILL an issue with FSRealistic, even in MSFS2024, even after they’ve upgraded their app several times. I may ask them today in their Discord. From what I understand it must probably be a rare issue (meaning it is replicated 100% but not from all users), but it still needs to be fixed.
Can confirm this is 100% reproducible on my PC, and have confirm there are no F keyboard bindings assigned.
Yes, still going on even after Windows format and clean MSFS installation…
Issue appears to be with FS Realistic
Yes, 100% an FSR thing. Yet they haven’t even acknowledged the issue. I raised a ticket in their Discord months ago (the one you also replied to) as their forums seem to no longer be used for that. Still no response. I don’t get it. Aren’t other users affected by it? Is it just an edge case?
