I recently purchased FS2024 and I can’t seem to find a way to move or shift position to see parts of the cockpit better. In 2020, when I needed to be able to see the upper panel or center pedestal I was able to use the arrow keys to move around the cockpit, or even crab through the cabin. Is this …

[image] Betabraaap: 2020 Keyboard for sure OK, that’s my confusion then. I’ve left the 2024 settings default, so I’ve been learning the new keybinds. Now I’m in a spot where I don’t remember the old or the new ones :slight_smile: Just for clarity, this is the default 2024 cockpit translati…

Yeah, I think the arrow keys now rotate your view, not translate. (Think yaw/pitch) I think SHIFT + W/S/A/D now translates forward/back/left/right. And, maybe it’s SHIFT Q/Z that moves up/down? Just going off memory…

Maybe. I’ve been searching for a cut and dry answer for 2 weeks and can’t seem to get one. Shift and WSAD doesn’t do anything. That’s for sure. 10 posts into that thread, there’s a potential solution. I’ll dig into it. Thanks.

[image] Betabraaap: Shift and WSAD Man, I am sure I just did this today. Did you switch your keyboard layout to 2020 Transversal, or are you using default 2024 keyboard keybinds?

2020 Keyboard for sure! I’ll do some more messing around. Maybe there’s a conflict?

Use 2024 transversal keyboard. If you change bindings, make double sure you set keyboard to 2024 transversal each time before making a copy of sim bindings for your use with yoke or throttle or cameras.

I use these mappings: Increase cockpit view height = cursor up Decrease cockpit view height = cursor down Translate cockpit view forward = right ALT & cursor up Translate cockpit view backward = right ALT & cursor down Translate cockpit view right = cursor right Translate cockpit view left = …

Okay, now we’re getting somewhere! I tried the 2024 controls and the SHIFT+WSAD is doing exactly what I want! I figured out early, if I wanted things to feel closer to 2020, use the 2020 keyboard. Way more familiar controls. I’d rather not re-learn a new set of bindings but, that’s my problem. …

I used this format in the 2020 keyboard and it worked. I did notice it doesn’t work exactly like it did in 2020. To “slide” left and right, you need to right click the mouse and look the opposite direction at the same time. Otherwise you just spin in a circle. So, it works but, it’s not ideal. …

Last question…Any advantage to using the 24 keyboard bindings? Am I missing out by using the 2020 keyboard?
