Thanks for this. One thing that I didn't know was the use of the arrow keys to move the 'position' the camera to get the desired view and then creating the Custom Camera view.
I know this video is for the views, so apologies - but have you ever been able to assign the fuel pumps/selectors to a button on the flight controllers? I've never got it working, not sure if it's a msfs bug or I and doing something wrong! Another great video btw, I always steer people towards your tutorials when they ask questions on the Facebook group :)
What I really want is to setup 10 or so custom views and move around them using just a 4 (or 5 ) way hat. Imagine having custom views layed out like a numpad. Using just a d-pad or hat you could move easily with minimal inputs by assigning them a grid or "relative map" 7 - 8 - 9 | | | 4 - 5 - 6 | | | 1 - 2 - 3 To get from view 3 to view 9 you could just tap "up" twice on the hat / d-pad. Now that you don't have to worry about running out of buttons you can setup more complex mappings and again just use a dpad / hat to get around. For example you could even combine interior and exterior views on the same hat with a grid like this. [ 01 ] [ 02 ]-[ 03 ]-[ 04 ] [ 05 ]-[ 06 ]-[ 07 ]-[ 08 ]-[ 09 ]-[ 10 ]-{11} [ 11 ]-[ 12 ]-[ 13 ] [ 14 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] Over head 02 ^ Pilot HUD Over head 01 Copilot HUD ^ ^ ^ Exterior Spot Left Pilot Tablet [ Default Pilot ] Center Console CoPilot View Right Wing Exterior Spot Right v v v Pilot Gauges FMC / FMS CoPilot Gauges v Throttle Quad v Lower Misc Controls v Exterior Spot Rear
Your "work around" for the cycling is probably automating the manual clicks you have to do with single press. Software like AutoHotKey maybe able to do such things.
Is there a way to toggle different instruments views in the cockpit so every click to switch a view? I’m limited in buttons on my Thrustmaster on buttons so I can assign one button to one view and so on. Thanks in advance
Thanks H. On the default keyboard controls CTRL 1, 2 etc for instrument views 1,2 etc, they do not toggle (as they seem to in your video) for me but spring back to the cockpit view whenever I release the keys. An y ideas why that is not happening ? On PC. Clearly those keys are taking me in and out of instrument view. I am in the Caravan, - setting up for Sunday.
@@Huddison thank you. Isn’t it wonderful when the scales fall from your eyes and all is revealed? That is a particularly frequent serendipity for me these days in the ‘Great Mystery’ that is MSFS2020.
Excellent, thanks for sharing. Just what i was looing for.
That's great to hear.

I don't think I mentioned that in this video - good you mentioned it here!

I'll try to remember to look into that for you.

Perfect, well explained

wow that was very detailed 👍

I really have to look into that! You know your stuff, so I'm keen to do so ;)

Yes you can do that with custom camera views (search through my catalogue ).

Check your General Options/Camera settings & change the relevant settings to 'Toggle' instead of 'Hold'.

@@TWOKDOK1 I'm always discovering new wonders with the Sim too.
@@Huddison So, does that make us aviation pioneers…”to boldly go….” Etc.?
keren banget kawan😁👍👍👍😀
