please add same camera views as fsx by pressing s and a and to look around by pressing spacebar and using the mouse to look around it would be much easier for laptop users and would make the sim much more better
yes, it would be nice
They should add an option for all default FSXļ»æ binds, when I started playing this it took a while to find out how to operate the camera with the hat switch properly and change between views.
Have legacy camera settings to start [ FSX ] so we do not keep fumbling when using MSFS camera setting as it is time consuming when starting to use sim
so we can transition to MSFS camera setting slowly
Okay, this drone camera bs is getting to a point where itās harder to control the camera than it is to control the aircraft. Why did they have to change a perfectly working camera system?
I re-mapped by cockpit + external views to the 8 point hat switch on my yoke. Slowed down the cam speed to 20%.
Use up/down arrows to manually move up/down and use left/right arrows as cockpit quick views when held.
And have set num keys 0-9 for preset positions eg overhead panel/throttle quad.
Rarely use the drone camera now. Bit of a novelty I think.
You can ādouble mapā the POV buttons to perform the same functions in internal and external views. Drone with speed slowed down is nice for long vfr flights and video recordings.

We need FSX key mapping. Itās been 14 years with the same keys, Iām used to the good old classic FSX key mappings I canāt handle this Space Shuttle level complexity right of the cuff. I just want to fly!
Would be cool if it just was an option when creating a profile.
Also! would be cool, if it was possible to use trigger action like in DCS. E.g. Using the POV was normal view, but holding in the trigger and then using POV was trim. Just a thought.
Best,

Hope this cheat sheet will help you out a bit!
No, FSX key mapping would be helpful. I mean, just look at how many key strokes there are for cameras. FSX had āSā, āAā, + or - and the hat switch. And the flaps for example, completely opposite of how FSX was - itās so unnecessarily confusing.
Donāt think this is going to happen, but it sure would be nice. One of the reasons I kept going back to P3d, I know where everything was. Now that Iāve flown MSFS I canāt seem to go back.
Yeah, what is the deal with all the camera controls itās impossible to deal with. Iām also having issues with not being able to set my breaks to the joystick trigger and a bunch of other commands that just plain donāt work. Shame.
Thanks for the cheat sheet, will be using it a lot!
Yes please, this camera system is (and has always been) hiddeous, why isnāt it possible to directly change from drone or outside fixed view to cockpit view and vice versa. I always get stuck switching views and then decide to delete all key bindings until Iām left with only cockpit and outside view bindings.
