Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - CAMERA CONTROLS THE FULL GUIDE

[@corybrayshaw9927]

I can't thank you enough, I've been screaming and avoiding MSFS as I hate the camera system, but with the BAE 146, MD82 and 737 I can't really keep avoiding it haha!

[@MrSnacko]

Oh man, I am with you ... I've had this thing since it came out and always have problems with the awful view system..

[@magzire]

alt and arrows keys is to move your head closer or further which is better than zooming

[@paull502]

I've used MSFS2020 since it came out and having watched your video I realise how much I have failed to make effective use of the camera. Thnak you for the lesson.

[@shuttlepodone1707]

Great video!!! I like the idea of some quick tutorials. When I flight sim I usually just want to get flying and haven't spent the time researching topics like this one and now I can't wait to use these camera views you shared!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@correyclockworth]

Watched the video while waiting for the update to complete - well spent time - thank you for your good content

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Much appreciated!

[@rip_keith7]

Great video this helps a lot. Thank you for this video.

[@pngnadzab]

You had me at the F key 👨🏻‍✈️👏🤙👍🍻😂

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Hello :)

[@mr.martintorres5804]

Awesome video Shane! I really need to start utilizing the external quick keys more often. Thanks!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Any time!

[@STRIDER_503]

Thanks man, just got Flight Simulator and I was like "how the F do I focus on X or Y panel... ?" Your video made my life a lot easier, cheers! 🛩✈

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Most welcome.

[@mrfairycake4333]

Great tut :) tho am using a PC and don't have a 'Fn' button to get the drone up as on a laptop, do you know what this is when using a PC with a keyboard?

[@christiancamilleri5439]

Your wrong Shane, I didn’t click this video because I wasn’t making the most of my camera views. I clicked on this video because its Ausflightsimmer content!!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you Christian.

[@aviationin4k258]

Same

[@VOLK________]

You’re

[@noddynoddy.8822]

Hi and thank you. Great video and it helped me a lot but have you noticed that once you have taken off, the camera angle does not stay fixed behind the craft? Can that be set somehow? it seems to drift and this causes me to make poor flight adjustments having a knock-on effect. I just got this SIM 2 days ago and I love it so much but I am about to go back to the old SIM lol.

[@ClintonWurzbach]

I’m on Xbox but takes 5 min of hitting buttons on the controller to get the in cab camera to get out of the cab where you can turn and adjust it where you want looking from outside but can’t seem to find what button does sometimes it does quickly sometimes it takes awhile to glitch it out of the cab but gives another view

[@jasonstray9582]

Good Video Aus very informative, even a seasoned Microsoft Crash to Desktop Simulator pro such as my self found it helpful for when I get back in the virtual skies

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you, the next one will even be better.

[@omarijoseph3189]

yes this is something that will help people make good videos...well deserve video Shane..well done

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks again Omari.

[@concorde_7588]

are you doing a uk world update stream? If so when?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Yep, tomorrow morning, its 12:11am as I write this comment.

[@hassanabdo9570]

Very much needed video.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Ailsworth]

For many of us, this "Asobo" faction has been put in power without having been vetted, and many, persistent, flight sim features, going back 40 years, have changed overnight.

[@chrisbailey9331]

Very helpful indeed, I’ve been struggling to understand how the camera angles work. Thanks for posting this 👍🏻😁🛩

[@AusFlightSimmer]

No problem 👍 Thanks for checking out the video.

[@pm110978]

Useful video.Thanks Shane 👌

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mrfairycake4333]

did you ever do that other views video you mentioned?

[@daviation9779]

thx for the informative video mate!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

No problem 👍

[@captainwealthy]

Do you have the link for the KZbin video for creating cockpit custom camera views 1-9? I'm trying to create custom views of (say) the wings, engines and under-carriage view underneath. Thanks!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Check out Twotonemurphy YT channel, he has a great video on custom camera's. Cheers

[@twotonemurphy]

Super handy! Many thanks dude

[@AusFlightSimmer]

You bet! I will check out yours in the morning, looks very intresting.

[@karolievans5706]

Excellent Thank You 👍 Very Much 🕶️

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you.

[@davidgiles9751]

Is there any way to assign the pan view to a joystick hat switch (like I used in FSX)? I really don't like the default toggle view functions.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I havent looked at that yet. I think it will be possible.

[@Makenitso]

Brilliant! thanks for this. i'm sure after a few uses the ones i find useful will stick in memory :)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Les1Strahm]

Thanks Shane!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

No problem Les.

[@FoxMapping]

Great video!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks!

[@amandahiya94]

How do I free look inside cockpit using a Controller on PC?

[@therealborischang]

I don’t want to memorize keystroke sequences to look around. Is there an option to use a joystick instead of the keys? When is high-quality VR be available for MSFS?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Boris, high qualityt VR is out.

[@Len_J_]

How do I reset camera view but keep any zoom/head position changes? Everytime I hit the reset camera view button I have to re-adjust the zoom/head position . I can't figure it out!

[@snatr]

Wow! That's a lot to remember. I usually fly with TrackIR and have used the instrument view there. Lately I've been in VR and haven't even tried. Might be worth a look- pun intended 😁

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks Gary.

[@ZenonZolek]

Good video to save, my head is toggled out

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad I could help

[@lachlanmcmahon6070]

Brilliant video

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks.

[@mattval6293]

Is there a flyby camera?

[@JJ-pj2kz]

i am hitting ctrl+shift+1 twice to exit the quick view however this isn't working for me. It just remains locked onto fixed view 1 and I cannot exit. any help is appreciated.. also when I am trying to go into drone mode, it just goes back onto the quick view 1 and I cannot exit

[@mosheflute]

Fabulous as always, thank you! Any chance to get a PDF with all key commands for the cameras? Cheers!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

SoFly simulation guide, is the best I have come across. Link is in the dicription. It is payware.

[@mosheflute]

@@AusFlightSimmer Thank you very much!

[@princechilling1118]

This was amazing and easy to understand. Can you please do an exact one like this but for Xbox. For those of us who use controllers, and not keyboards.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Ohhh great question.

[@billyoung8118]

Or you can by the Thrustmaster flight pack. In total there are 48 different switch position. Yeah, like I'm ever going to remember more than a few of those.

[@helicopterovirtual-msfs6254]

Fantástic 👍

[@pm110978]

UK update is finally out 😀

[@linusluundgren]

Does someone know why I cant use my arrows to move in cockpit? It disappeard in a update a while ago😱

[@qwetry-j2u]

You mentioned zooming in and out inside of the cockpit, but said nothing about moving(!) forward and backward.

[@mariohnyc]

my arrow keys stopped working in terms of moving my camera in the cockpit after either the first or second update to the game.

[@lachlanmcmahon6070]

Im the first or second comment

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Congrats!!!

[@mackymac5754]

I don't know what's going on with this sim, before this update I've been having issues already with not responding during check update but like a couple of weeks back I had no problem running this sim even with mods, it just suddenly started doing it and even after uninstalling it and reinstalled that's the only time I can run it but with just the very basic package installed, no mods and with just freaking 2 planes that I had to install the rest manually but ones I started doing that like only the 1st plane will be installed but the next one during the installation will just stop and not respond again that I had to force close it and now with this update even during the installation will cause it to not respond again! so I can't even install this sim anymore! Restarted my pc, shutdown, updated my gpu with the latest driver, latest win 10, I didn't see any memory issue, internet connection is good, no problem with the cpu as well, using steam version. While my other games continue to run with no problems at all. Un freaking believable! So frustrating! ):-(

[@irishaviator7513]

is world update 3 delayed again

[@fssim6825]

Hope not

[@irishaviator7513]

@@fssim6825 I think yes because it still isnt out

[@fssim6825]

@@irishaviator7513 most people think around 4 or 5 GMT so It better not be delayed again

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Should be out soon.

[@pm110978]

It’s out

[@brent4770]

That will be hard in VR

[@kbent88]

After and update a few months back, the arrow keys stopped working for me.

[@Incommensurabilities]

I think there was a bug with one of the updates where if you had any custom keys assigned then it lost those keys. You need to re-assign them manually

[@DylanCannon]

I miss ChasePlane

[@russellharris5072]

booted the sim today 16/2/2021 for the new update.............NOTHING..............

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Will be out soon.

[@MahlonBouldin]

Thanks for this rundown of the cameras. Very helpful. Always like your tutorials. Is anyone else able to get "Shift + Arrow" buttons to work in cockpit camera? Mine are set correctly in the Controls section, but they don't seem to work. Also, "CNTRL + Arrow" keys always overshoot the "looking right or left" hold view. I end up looking behind the seats in the A320Neo for example. Just wondering 'cause I'm not seeing much about misbehaving keyboard shortcuts on the forums, but I'm personally having a lot of issues with keyboard shortcuts not working correctly. Again, mate, great videos. Always like 'em.

[@ronholfly]

Interesting, but you can do all this with your mouse.

[@tbone8839]

i didnt think that airport still existed

[@muffo1965]

what is the airport?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Meigs. :)

[@TwoSierraEcho]

@@AusFlightSimmer I was just about to ask. I was right. :D Good old Meigs Field. Need to install add-on.

[@mfelicio1]

A lot of keys...

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Yes, in about 10 hours or so.

[@GrumpyOldMan9]

Useless video. Doesn't say how to set the distance between camera and plane, only how to change the zoom level. I doubt if he even knows the difference
