    Great video, thanks.
    A) What helped me as well was to raise or lower my seat so that when I look straight ahead I'm even with the Horizon straight ahead.
    C) in setting choose Camera then adjust Zoom to in-between 80-90.
    Default is 50 & that is not realistic.
    Zoom is "Field of View".
    One TV/monitor should be a 45 degree field of view. 80 on zoom will get you there.
    Once you best to zoom 80 then move back in seat a bit & save that a default or custom view.

    As much as I love where MSFS2020 has gone. This game has the most insane set of key bindings. Well... not as bad as Star Citizen that is.

    • @DownTheRabbit-Hole
      @DownTheRabbit-Hole 3 года назад +2

      The problem is when you bind a key and it does not delete the previous binding, like 99% of programs on the market. It should at least ask you to delete when you assign new, instead of making one to find and delete. Dumb as a box of rocks. It also double assigns yokes, throttles etc. Then it crashes..... 3-4 times a day.

    Excellent!! This is the video I have been waiting for. I am an X-Plane 11 guy and bought MSFS 2020 because of the spectacular visuals. One of the things that makes a flight sim good is an excellent and easy camera system, either native or add-on (ChasePlane is not yet available for MSFS 2020, but I have found it very useful in P3D). Unfortunately MSFS 2020 lacks this at this time, and I found myself clinging to X-Plane 11 and avoiding MSFS 2020. That is going to change now because of your excellent video. Thank you again

    As a sim-pilot with 1000s of X-Plane hours, I found I just couldn't use MSFS due to camera clumsiness... My disappointment of X-Plane 12's dark cockpits, etc. forced me to give MS another try and THIS VIDEO has made all the difference. THANK YOU !!!

    What I found particularly handy with XP11 was that when I pushed the same button a second time, the camera returned to the previous view.
    In msfs2020 the camera always goes back to the base view.
    For me it was perfect and I miss it a lot.
    In summary: I am in left view and I click the throttle view button. I push back the throttle view button a second time and go back to left window view.
    It worked in XP11 for customer view 0 to 9...

  • @davidjackson9489
    @davidjackson9489 4 года назад +4

    Thanks for this. X-plane controls for views are so much easier. Perhaps useful to duplicate the default keyboard mappings and work on the duplicate when making these modifications, not least because you might want different settings for different aircraft later on. But, when I did it, it spent ages thinking about changing the name afterwards, so worth getting the right name first time. And it's easier to remove unwanted mapping to the same key by using the key itself rather than scrolling through the list.

    When checking the Inputs for duplicates you can click on the 'Search by Input box' (above Select an Input) and when it changes colour simply press the key e.g. Num1 and it will show all the relevant bindings. Saves scrolling through the list.

      @simgeeks378  4 года назад

      Yes - I found the X-Plane camera system so intuitive, so thought I'd set up what I know best on MSFS. 'Mouse over tool tips' - I know what you mean, I cant turn mine off either, I read somewhere its a bug because it should be controlled in 'Assistance' and 'Notifications' - all mine are off but they still pop up when I hover over all the knobs, dials and buttons. Hopefully this is something else they fix in the next patch.

Does it make more sense to just copy the "default" keyboard setting and work from there? Excuse my ignorance if this question is irritating..:-)

    Your explanation is quite good and simple. What I don't know is why it does not work in my system. I do exactly all your suggested steps and clean any duplicate key but in the game nothing happens. You set you view, click ctrl + the num to store it and when you go back to the original position and click the num where the view is stored, nothing? What may be happening, any clue? One thing, I have multiple monitors setup (3)...

    Very cool. Thanks for sharing this. Fortunately, when you get your hotas setup, you'll also be able to move many of your views, with the hat switches. On my Thrustmaster hotas throttle, there's even an analog stick, which allows smooth, and slow panning, and tilting of the camera. Over on the side stick, it's hat switch will let you cycle through the panel vies, by pulling down on the hat, then pushing it right, til you find the desired panel. But I like the idea of being able to just push one button to get to a desired view.

    Hi...thx for the video. However, at least on MY system, I have 2 issues I hope you can help me with. First, it seems that I have to go through this mapping procedure for each separate aircraft. I suppose I could live with that and only map those A/C that I often fly, except for the second issue. Not sure why this happened, but when I restart MSFS2020 and go to fly the same A/C that I've mapped the camera settings (as per your video), the numeric keypad (built into Microsoft keyboard) no longer gives me the different views...even though when I go back into the control settings for my keyboard, your mappings are still there. The only thing that stands out to me is that when I initially restarted the sim, all was OK. The next time I restarted the sim, I went into the external views...not the settings, just the external views that I initiated from the cockpit (INSERT key, END key). After that, all previous inside cockpit mappings did not work. Hope I've been clear on this, and hope you might be able to help. Thanks in advance.

As far as the original posting of my "second issue", that seems to be gone...not sure what I might have done, but I don't notice that anymore. But as I've said, I most definitely DO have to set up for each different airplane. Once I DO that aircraft's cockpit camera setup, it stays put...even when shutting down the system and restarting later.

    uhm - I had expected that you might use the hat switch on your yoke. But I come from FSX, which was so easy to set up - vs.MS2020 that is a nightmare out of hell concerning the setup for views.

    Great. The camera system is a big reason I still prefer xp so this will help. Shame it’s such a faff.

    Sorry to hear you may "retire" from making vids; you have an excellent voice and style. On the other side, it's pitiful MS makes us jump through hoops to do the job POV1 used to do. A thought: could i bind the views you created to the POV? Needs more thought. I'm thinking of going through your drill (mind already boggled :-) at the chore), but then I'll have another chore, loading all those commands into VoiceAttack so I can change my views by voice rather that reaching for the NumPad numbers. Also, is there an easy way to switch between internal and external camera views? Thanks for your good work, NOMAD the Aviating Author (also on YT with DCS)
