good day I have been trying to fix
An instrument problem I have when I try to select different views in flight simulator
The views I am referring to is just a basic cockpit view a drone view on an external camera
After setting them and confirming the recommended Keys like the home key the insert key for example they work maybe once or twice and then suddenly they don’t do what they’re supposed to??
Is there some kind of procedure that a guy has to do When selecting a view and then trying to select another view
is there a procedure that I don’t know about?
Sometimes I am forced to even restart the game to fix this problem but it’s driving me crazy so any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
Hi @Jokeymalokey ,
I find that the camera view system in MSFS is not particularly intuitive to use.
Can you post screenshots of your keyboard camera bindings?
Also, one or two examples of what actually happens when you change a view vs. what you expect to happen would be useful in trying to determine if there are any solutions to your problem.
Thanks!
Thank you regarding the screenshots there is not much there. For example for Drone Camera it is set to Insert??
The other cameras are aso set to default MS Settings/?
Regarding what happens is that (when the issue happens)Nothing?? The view does not change.
However after I reset it fixes itself??
Thank you
Do the buttons do what the Control Options UI says they should do? If not, what do they do?
There is no special procedure for changing views. Selecting different views should be easy - just press a button or key to change the view, but the design of the Control Options UI does not make it so, IMO.
I ended up making a list of what I wanted each button on my mouse, joystick & Xbox controller to do. I then deleted every default binding and entered my preferences as per my list, saving them as new profiles. This way I removed any potential conflict or ambiguity with respect to what each button should do.
Even so, I still get weird results sometimes, especially when leaving drone-mode for an external view.

If I was to summarise tha main aspect of my frustration it would agree with your above statement! The problem is mainly when leaving drone mode.
Btw when i reassign default views they do indeed function correctly
I guess I’m just getting upset because it certainly seems that this is just another thing that , maybe because of the infrequent occurrences it is probably not exactly a priority in the list of things,
It will probably not be dealt with
I appreciate the time you took to formulate your reply. Thanks again.
No Problem. I agree that a redesign of the Control Options GUI is extremely unlikely for 2020. It will be interesting to see if it changes significantly in 2024.
