I just got stuck in external view mode after clicking “showcase” via the camera menu [VR mode].
Nothing I tried brought me back into the cockpit. Check my key bindings, opened the toolbar, clicked the camera menu… nothing worked.
I could click the camera menu but the window didn´t pop up. The button was highlighted though…
I had to exit VR mode to even get the toolbar working, the camea menu popped up but any menu or option I clicked just didn´t respond.
The response to any keyboard or controller input was simply switching between the external side and back view…
When I tried to renenter VR mode, nothing happend… just saw the SteamVR room.
Had to force a shutdown via taskmanager to get out of this!
I´m starting to get very angry with MSFS… not once there was a day where I could simple get into a plane a have a nice flight, something always goes wrong… stupid public beta testing!
.
Does anyone know a fix for this “stuck in camera mode with nothing working”-issue??
Yeah… I know, and I pressed it… not just once!
As I wrote, I pressed every button that should change camera or cam-position and nothing worked…
Checked the bindings, “END” is assigned for cockpit.
I use Voice Attack for my camera views and I also somehow selected showcase on the camera menu and was stuck outside the cockpit.
What I found for me was instrument view 3, 4 or 5 got me back inside the cockpit and then instrument 0 put me back in my correct position to fly. For some reason trying instrument 0 from outside did not work to get me back in the cockpit.
I just use my Index but I have a bunch of Logitech Panels. So far they work quite well with MSFS and many cockpit functions are covered but I will check out Voice Attack too!
I hope, I find some time this weekend to fly and to see if I can reproduce the “getting stuck outside” issue and if your workaround works for me too!
Much time has passed but if anyone else gets stuck like this; I was trying every key and combination to no avail, then I pressed the 9 key and my view moved down, then using the number keys I figured out I was in SLEW mode. I looked at the keybinds for slew mode and the key command to exit slew mode is “Y”. Presto, I was back in the cockpit. Good Luck.
bro thank you so much, I was doing long haul and was 3 hours in and I got stuck. Then I pressed Y and it was all good after that, thank you so much man
stupid public beta testing! 
I will try this next time I get stuck outside.
