FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Repeatable - not intermittent

REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Start free flight with PMDG 737-800 at a gate

  2. Press Shift-1 Instrument View. It will incorrectly provide an overhead view expected when using Shift-6 (for example). Other Instrument View shift keys are also incorrect.

  3. Problem does not occur after reverting MSFS 2024 back to GA SU 5.1 version

Moved to Sim Update 6 Beta | MSFS 2024 > External 3rd Party Products since this report is about a 3rd party aircraft.
Issue could also impact 1st party aircraft as reported here: View binds for TBM930 incorrect
If you can replicate with the TBM or 1st party aircraft, feel free to contribute there.

Issue with the PMDG B737 camera views has also been reported here: SU6 Beta General Feedback and Discussion Thread - #212 by Maybe9357

Yeah, we are aware of this. We’ll wait for the SDK to update before we start to change things.

I figured that if this was an intended MSFS change, PMDG would appropriately wait until closer to SU 6 SDK GA release :slight_smile: . I posted this issue in case root cause was due to a defect or regression in the MSFS SU 6 update.

Following the previous report regarding compromised preset internal views for the PMDG B737-800 under the SU6 Beta, I would like to highlight an issue encountered during an LIBR-LICC flight: while on approach—with both VorLoc and G/S already captured—the aircraft completely lost its course, veering erratically to the right and left.
After disengaging the autopilot, I managed to land visually without incident.
Navigation issues are also affecting Airbus aircraft in this build, specifically regarding the integration of avionics with SimBrief and the EFB.
This is certainly a temporary issue pending the next update, but it is frustrating nonetheless.

This is a totally different issue than reported here.
You should create a separate report in Sim Update 6 Beta | MSFS 2024 > External 3rd Party Products and/or contact PMDG support.
If you can replicate with 1st party aircraft, you can create a report in Sim Update 6 Beta | MSFS 2024 > Aircraft & Systems .

I doubt this is related to the views, but as we use totally our own code for these things, I doubt an issue that affects an Airbus as well has the same cause.

We do not have any other reports like that and have not encountered this ourselves.

I have the same problem. Today I flew the B777F, and I didn’t have the correct views in the Showcase fixed cameras.no engine left/right view front or side !! Hope they will fix it !!! I know is not PMDG issues but the su6 Beta !

XBOX ! Thank you PMDG for the amazing aircraft’s :100::airplane:

In fact, I am certain that this isn’t a problem with PMDG, nor with iniBuilds.
Your 737-800 and the Airbus A320 v2 and A321 LR never exhibited this issue until the SU6 beta was released.
I use these aircraft regularly and they work very well—especially the 737, which is perfectly optimized.
As soon as the SU6 beta 1.8.5 was released, updates of just a few megabytes appeared in the library for various aircraft and sceneries, which I installed.
To be honest, I don’t recall if those updates included the aircraft I mentioned.

Hope this is the fix.
Continuing the discussion from Release Notes - SU6 Beta 1.8.9.0 - July 24, 2026:

Yeah, we are not worried about this. When it is clear whether this is a bug or a change in the sim, we will adapt when needed. Very strange if this is indeed a change, though; we’ll see.
