The third in my series of HOW TO GUIDE videos designed to provide essential and useful information to Microsoft Flight Simulation users. In this video we look into the camera and view controls. We review the camera profile settings, cockpit camera, external camera and the drone camera. In addition we look how do we configure our keyboard and controllers. We also take a snapshot at the Slew mode.

Do you like the cameras in MSFS? I wasn’t a fan at first, but they provide a wide array of options and features that allow for some amazing views. Mapped to a controller they come into a league of their own.

Always great stuff,,, you must have a staff ! I have muddled with the COCKPIT/EXTERNAL View option for ever... it just is funky. I have noticed one of the General settings needs to be turned on to find your way back - But HOME and END must be pressed to get there, I have to Use HOME END then COCKPIT/External View to get back to pilots seat. And after the latest "MANDATORY" update the folks who run things changed several things... and the entire camera functions are / were wiggy for me for about 2 hours. And I had to make several changes in the General Setup just to get back to my regular flight setup...but buttons were just not working consistently. Not to mention my KB setup for View selection changed ! Wow this is getting more Bill Gates and Less Flight Simulator. I think we should goto XP12! Keep up the good work.

Go into Options > General > Camera (NOT the in-flight Camera Menu) and make absolutely sure that Height, Horizontal Position, and Zoom are set to 50! These are the global values and if they're not set to default (50), all of your future custom views will not save correctly. This is probably a bug because it's counter intuitive to apply global changes all over again when trying to save a view; but it is what it is. 2. In Options > Controls, search for the command "VFR Pilot View Save" and assign a key binding. By default, this command is unassigned... I assigned it to Ctrl + Alt + V. 3. Make a note of your controller assignments for "Reset Cockpit View". Default is Left Ctrl + Spacebar and/or "F" (I also have it assigned to the trigger on my joystick). 4. Load the aircraft of your choice and use the translation, look, and zoom controls to position the camera exactly where you want it. When you have what you want for a default view, press the "VFR Pilot View Save" binding assigned in step 2 (Ctrl + Alt + V in my case). Now, every time you press the "Reset Cockpit View" button(s), it will go back to this view and will NOT alternate to other intermediate views with subsequent presses... yay!

Hi Mark. Edited again. Had a go at reversing the view up down buttons in external camera view. I was in CONTROLLER - CONTROLLER PROFILE, as, as you say you can’t alter the DEFAULT settings. However altering the External settings had no effect on what they do in Showcase view, there appears to be options to change ‘Eternal’ setting, but not to alter Showcase settings. Any thoughts? Thanks again Noel Another very helpful video, and a lot more to digest. Many thanks for your reply to my questions, asked in the previous video, I will try your suggestions later. Re the mouse wheel, you were right, the Zoom mode was set to Auto. Now set to Manual and the mouse wheel works, obvious really, but not to me !!!. Now off to see if I can bugger up something else. Planning to reverse the Xbox look up/down buttons. Wish me luck, apparently I need it. Many thanks Noel#

One more question. I have 'trim' up and down , set up on two buttons on my controller. The aircraft in FS2020 respond much slower to the trim inputs, than the aircraft in FSX or FS2004, which I have on my computer as well. FS2004 requires I boot up into Windows 7, which is on a separate hard drive. How can I improve the response sensitivity?

Hi, your not the first to notice this, it is a bit of a problem, Asobo are aware. I overcome this by mapping to the bravo tq wheel, I can then apply quick multiple input to get a realistic trim effect. Regards

Do I have to set up cockpit & camera views outside each aircraft in MSFS or different views for twin engine ,turbo prop and Jets aircraft and were is reverse thrust for the A320 and 747& 787.

@SimHangerFS 3 жыл бұрын

Reverse thrust is available, but not very well modeled.... bind a key to "toggle reverse thrust", then whenever you need to use it put the throttle to idle, press the toggle key, and then increasing the throttle on the controller will apply reverse thrust. If there's a better way to do it I would like to know. In terms of views each aircraft has default external views, and your stuck with these. Cockpit custom views needs to be set up for each aircraft ideally. Regards

The other videos went so fast in their explanations and I couldn't follow. It's amazing that as long as I have been flying FSX with PMDG aircraft that I feel I have to go to college again just to learn MSFS 2020 especially with camera setups and control options with HOTAS. But now I think I have an idea where to start without blowing up my machine! I saw in the peripheral video that you recommend the use of the XBox controller in addition with a HOTAS. Is this true?

I'm just under 5 minutes in, and amazed to see the views being changed using the mouse, this IS in VR mode correct? Ever since I've had msfs 2020, these views using the mouse have not worked for me! Even though I've seen the mouse is bound to the camera, it's just never worked. I get 1 external view from just above and behind the plane, from that there is no movement using the mouse, I'm not sure what's wrong with mine but I sure would love to be able to use other views besides the couple I'm locked into. From my Alpha Yoke I can "focus" or zoom in on some instruments, lower or raise my seating position in the cockpit, including going up thru the roof to outside. Strange.

@@SimHangerFS The FSX I was using for 15 years (but using Windows 10 for only the past year) suddenly died a week ago and won't restart. I was told to upgrade to FSX-Steam, which I did (in an all-night-long download), but then I discovered that all the graphical user interfaces (screens) looked like the GUIs for MSFS2020 and not the vintage GUIs of FSX. I found no documentation for the FSX-Steam I bought, but I found a lot of KZfaq videos that go back to 2015 (all talking about the Steam version) but the GUIs the videos show are that of the vintage FSX. That's when I discovered your videos for MSFS2020--right? Now I'm not even sure of what version of flight sim I have.

Hi, I have a question. With my Logitech Extreme Pro yoke controller, using the hat (swivel) button on the top on my yoke, I can 'swivel' a left, right, up, down, back and front 'EXTERNAL' view of my airplane, in Flight Simulator X and Flight Simulator 2004. With FS2020, the swivel button only let's me 'snap' a left, right, front, back, above EXTERNAL view. It does not let me swivel any direction freely. What do I need to do, so I can swivel freely EXTERNALLY? Note-Inside the cockpit the hat (swivel) button let's me swivel freely, no problem there. I find myself using FSX more, because it does some things FS2020 does not. Like give you instant replay, so I can examine my final approaches and landings. I've finally mastered 747 and 787 landings and I'd really like to view them in replay. Do you know if that is a feature this FS2020 has?

I Wonder why the American Microsoft develpers decided to give to ASOBO a German software maker to make the new FS2020 . Does your Flightsimulator still work after the mandatory update on June 2021 ? I am asking because my does not.

@SimHangerFS 3 жыл бұрын

Hello, they chose Asobo as they have developed open world type based games for Microsoft in the past. Sorry your sim is not running, mine is fine.

two quickies: 1) how many cockpit views in total are allowed in MS2020 2) is there anyway to get MS2020 to quit turning my zoom back to "auto" in the "Camera" settings during flight...i have to keep switching it back to "manual"

I know this video is 3 years old… I’m just now thinking of switching to MSFS 2020. I’ve been using Microsoft FX since it came out. I built pretty much a full inclosed cockpit with projectors , sim panels and yokes and all that good stuff years ago… with MSFX I love how I can remove the cockpit view entirely to give me that cockpit view from my built cockpit. I would love to invest in this software but It doesn’t seem like this has that option. I have researched this topic but find nothing that suggests it’s possible… That is unless I’m not looking or asking the right questions or people.

@SimHangerFS 19 күн бұрын

MSFS 2020 does not have this option, but you can get close by utilising zoom options, you can also set up fixed views and save them (per aircraft).

The missing controls I and many others want are a tower view,instant replay and the ability to extend the replay to cover crashes so that we can see what went wrong instead of just been given a black screen............................

All of my customized camera settings stopped working, when I started MFS2020 this time. None of them, they are all gone. I restarted the game and none of them work. I tried to create them again, you know, Cntl - Alt- etc. and they won't stick. Note-This happened after a recent update, that mentioned fixing crashes or something like that. Do you know what happened?

Hello,I have been watching your how to guides with much interest, Cameras and view are very important. Problem though : you mention holding down the right button to move around the cockpit…for my mouse it’s no way! Mouse again : if in the in flight sim menus, camera, I want to switch from fixed look to freelooking,, at that point the mouse, or at least the pointer disappears..I believe not be alone with the disappearing mouse syndrome, but have not seen any fix. Thanks for all your work Jean

@SimHangerFS 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Jean, holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse will change your view. Check this by using the default profile. When you go to free look there is no pointer visible...this is correct. Regards

@@SimHangerFS hi,Mark, thank you. But no ,my mouse is under default. No moving around in the cockpit. Switching to external trough an assigned button, brings back the mouse, which disappears as soon as I climb back in the cockpit.. You say :’in free lock, no pointer visible”, that would not bother me if I could look around. And i must say, this used to work, i can’t remember when… thanks again
