MSFS 2024: Guide to Setting Cockpit & Exterior Views?

I just purchased MSFS2024. I am trying to bind my mouse so that I can scan around the cockpit using the mouse. I have tried multiple menu choices. Can someone advise which “view” menu choice allows you to scan around the cockpit. Thanks

I too had all sorts of problems saving and setting up custom camera views including the VFR pilot view, nothing seemed to be working correctly. Then I decided to use an old wired USB keyboard, made a copy of the default keyboard 2024 profile, deleted all of the assignments, then copied that and renamed it My Master Profile. I then assigned all of the keys the way I wanted and voila!!! everything worked perfect. Not sure what’s going on but maybe using an old USB keyboard or USB XBox controller for camera views is the answer for now.

My VKB Gladiator NXT has a POV ministick and a 4 way HAT.
I don’t like the POV because it jumps all around (spastic thumb).

So I use the 4 way HAT which uses the the Translate for the Cockpit left and right view changes.

Notice that you have to put the right 21 & 22 in the right column.
If you put them in the left column, it will do a + and add it to the other control there. ( like a shift + up)

R axis is the POV. Numbers are the 4 way HAT.

it is called a strafe and it works with shift A and shift D

They did not even warn us… In 2020 I used the key “END” to switch my view from the cockpit to chase external… In 2024…"End " does not work for me or any other key… I do not understand.

What is there to not understand? They have simply changed the default keys for the FS24 key bindings. It’s not that difficult to go into settings and look at what the new setting is (SHIFT X). There is a toggle for FS2020 key bindings, which I have not tried. I assume selecting this would give you END for the chase camera.

Thanks BB but I tried that and it did not work. Are you using the “X” key to switch views from the interior of the plane to the outside?
I am using a PC are you using a PC or the X Box?

yes I know they changed the bindings, almost everything was easy to change…but no matter what I tried…it would not work…ho hum, I use the camera to switch between interior and exterior


that image is from my 2024,you will notice x does not mention anythibng about toggle. But I will try it …thanks for your suggestions

I have your same problem. Whatever I do I cannot pan in the cockpit using my hat switch as I did in MSFS2020. I’m using a VKB Gunfigter Joystick that is just awesome, but it looks like MSFS2024 doesn’t appreciate. Please let me know if you solve the pan issue. Thx

You need an axis to Pan or a button to jump.

1 = button
2 = Pan
