Keyboard Button for Copilot View

Hi everyone,

is it possible to bind a keyboard button for the Copilot view? Or a better option will be, setting the copilot view as default.

Here a background info for my question: I am the first officer in the A320. If i change the (custom) view and reset the view, the camera jumps back to the captains view. In need to select manually by mouse the copilot view in the upper menu in the sim, again.

I have never used customer views but I thought there was also a key combination for selecting the custom view?

Yes, there are key combinations for custom views. But the copilot view isn’t a custom view :wink:

But could you create a custom view in the correct position for the co-pilot?

Alternatively you could edit the camera.cfg for the aircraft. If I recall correct it is the intialxyz value that you would need to alter and specifically the x value which would be the first number.

The value would be in the Pilot section of the camera.cfg file, and if you could really swap the values with those already set for the CoPilot. This should give you exactly what you desire as you would have changed the default position. Obviously references in the sim to the Pilot and Copilot cameras would be incorrect but if it’s only you using the sim no problem right?

There is a keybinding to save a custom view, then when you reset it, it goes to the position you saved rather than the default captain view.

That said, I just sit in the captain’s seat, doesn’t bother me (I’m also an A320 FO).

That sounds as a good idea. Thank you

Ok. I guess this could be the easiest solution. I will try both of your suggestions. :+1:
