I figured i would add some information since it was driving me crazy! There is a significant bug in the custom cameras whereby if you load another aircraft in the same session and try to configure its custom views, it will totally screw up the custom views of the first aircraft. However if you exit the sim and restart, the saved views will be there. So set up one aircraft, exit sim, restart, then do the next, and so on.

Thank you so much, I have been trying to set camera views for a few days and your video walked me through it. Keep up your good work

Another very informative video for all simmers. Thanks very much for your advise and time it's very much appreciated.

Instead of manually moving the camera to see my instruments, I bound one of my hat switches to go between the instrument cameras (click in to enter instrument view, then left/right to go between them). Then I have my analogue stick on my joystick to act as both freelook and the mouse (depending on which mode), with a button bound to click. I also have up/click/down on one of my other hats bounds to switch between ladning/instrument/VFR camera position. Along with the two way trigger setup for zoom/unzoom. Never have to take my hands off my HOTAS.

I’m having a very very hard time setting my views. In 2020 I could hold down to get through the cabin and find my window view that I wanted. In 2024 I try holding down and the camera just gets stuck and goes haywire.
@FlightSimSchool22 күн бұрын
There is a bug where if you try to set the views for more than one plane in a single session, it goes haywire. You can try restarting and it should be fixed

hmmmm, I would try going back to the default bindings for the keyboard, and try with their default mappings first to see if that works. If it does, then I'd create a new keyboard binding set, delete the old one, and try again. Hope that helps!

Hi on 2020 I right click my mouse and can pan around the cockpit but on 2024 I do the same and it’s uncontrollable? Any advice please . Thanks

Back in FS 2000 (I think) there was a cockpit view that kind of showed more of the outside, and only 2 or 3 important gauges which was great when flying in a very scenic area. Is there an equivalent in 2024? TIA
@FlightSimSchoolАй бұрын
Yes, if you use external view, you can make it show a throttle, trim, etc. I disabled it because I like my external view to be gauge-free for quick screenshots.
@DChamp56Ай бұрын
@ So, if I understand correctly, there is a view for that already built in. (thank you)
@FlightSimSchoolАй бұрын
Yep the binding you're looking for is the 'toggle cockpit external view' or something like that

thank you for the video man, im still tweaking my views/bindings. at least graphically i really havent done anything and it runs silky smooth on 4k ultra with minimal frame drops. 2020 i feel like was always a battle and i'm on a 13900kf/4090/64gb ddr5/ssd. 6 months and this sim will be top of the pile i think once bugs are addressed and more addons are ported.

The little bugs sprinkled everywhere are the worst. I almost didn’t publish this video until they fixed some of the issues I ran into, but figured I can address those in comments since they are so inconsistent

Isn't there already default keys for this? For example Shift+1 to shift+9 typically goes to default views internally, shift+WASD move you around. i do however notice that there is no, or atleast seems to be, no fixed camera views for the external camera like there was in 2020, I swear you could press control+shift+1-9 and get different views there, dont seem to be any in 2024
@FlightSimSchool12 күн бұрын
Hitting shift-1 is a heck of a lot less convenient than having a single number on the keypad to press. Control shift was to save views in 2020, but in 2024 they aren’t all bound up.

Setting the camera views was a great help! Now could you show us what your mouse settings are for the cockpit view and external view? I know you use the keyboard for the cockpit but I'd still like to zoom in/out on the saved camera views and use the mouse instead of the keyboard to lookaround a bit on the external views. Had this all set up in 2020 but cant seem to make the transition to 2024
@FlightSimSchoolАй бұрын
For the mouse, it’s quite simple, the scroll wheel is what I use to zoom in and out, and then move the mouse to pan around. Hope that helps!
@agamemnon7461Ай бұрын
I can't pan around the aircraft using the mouse left click as per MF2020. I think it happened after I installed the mandatory update last week.
@fredziker3784Ай бұрын
@@FlightSimSchool I have the scroll wheel working properly, I had 2020 configured to use the mouse to scan about the cockpit using center click plus a mouse drag. Haven't been able to accomplish that in 2024. But have you noticed that the fixed camera positions that I have customized don't stay fixed? They tend to drift and tilt after just a few minutes. My pilot instrument '0' position tends to start a drift within minutes. I left the cockpit for a bit on a flight and came back and it was facing the cockpit door! Any experience with any of this Mark? Thanks
@FlightSimSchoolАй бұрын
@@fredziker3784 hmmmm, by default the click and drag works for me, I wonder if the preset for the mouse in the binding got changed by accident? For the drift, I believe that's a bug. I've had it happen on some flights, but not others.
@fredziker3784Ай бұрын
@@FlightSimSchool Thanks for the validating the drift issue. I don't doubt that I've altered the default mouse bindings and would love to revert my controls back to default and start over but, to the best of my knowledge, there is no way to reset the controls back to default. I've read that even uninstalling and reinstalling MS2024 won't get me back to default control settings because they're downloaded from the cloud as part of the reinstall now. That's why I'm hoping you could post screen shots of your settings for us to try to replicate in our systems. Thanks again!

I think these are broken in some planes. If I save a custom camera in the Grand Caravan, when I try to set new ones in the Skyhawk it just keeps defaulting to the ones used in the Caravan. Sad state this game is in.
@FlightSimSchoolАй бұрын
Try restarting, and creating a separate profile per plane for the general controls if it doesn't work. I've found that can fix it, *sometimes*. Like you said, sad state....
