Switching between Cockpit / External View not working all of a sudden

It was working fine, but now all of a sudden, the toggle between Cockpit and External view does not work. While in the external view, pressing the button flashes the cockpit view for a fraction of a second and goes back to external view. And while in the Cockpit view, pressing the button does nothing. This is for the setting called “Cockpit/External View Mode” under “Camera Mode Switches” category.

I am not sure if something I did caused it. I have gone into Settings and cleared the joystick mappings and reassigned to different keys to test but get the same result. I am wondering if I messed something up in mappings or settings but am not able to pinpoint anything.
Keyboard shortcut (backspace) also doesn’t work, neither do 3 different controllers that I tried, all experiencing the same flashing effect. Appreciate any advice. :slight_smile:

I have nearly the same problem.
Initially, setting the toggle External View worked, switching between cockpit and external views.

After I did a config setting reset, the toggle no longer works. Doesn’t matter which keyboard or controller key I have the toggle set to, it only works one way: from Cockpit view to External view. It doesn’t toggle back to the cockpit view at all.

How did you do the configuration reset? I will try mine.
Very weird problem, I hope there is a fix. I am thinking to uninstall and reinstall the sim if nothing works.

I deleted all my mapping profiles and just used the default ones but still get the glitchy experience as above.
My workaround for now is to map 2 buttons, one to enable the cockpit view, and the other to enable le the external view.

General Settings → Camera ->CockpitCamera-> Set
Switch HomeCockpit to OFF

You are a lifesaver, FalconDriver998! That did it. Here’s a screenshot for anyone else looking for it.
