Configuring Views in X-Plane 11 

Also, for those that don't have a numpad you can set each preset view "slot" to a different key on your keyboard. I personally just set each one to Shift+*Number*

I thought it was Jeff Favignano in the beginning

I just ordered XPlane 11 off Amazon last week and am anxiously awaiting the arrival! Love your videos and has helped me learn a lot! Thank you!

Ty, thank you so much! Newly switched over from FSX to X-Plane 11 and trying to learn from the pros like yourself. Great video and now I have my views mapped for the default 737-800! Have been a follower for quite a while now and will continue to watch your videos!

Hey, one extra tip I just discovered: if you have TrackIR, you can use it to "lean" out of the cockpit and, while outside the cockpit, shut off head tracking. Then you can position the camera for Ty's patented wing views without having to hack the config file.

Thank you so much! New x plane use here and I’m clueless to anything haha. People like you help me so much! Appreciate it

This didn’t help at all I had Num lock and I hit control 4 on the keypad and it still didn’t work

Could not be more helpful !!! Easy to understand - much more so then print! Hope you do some more!

Thank you very much for showing an amazing great tutorial,if I'm not wrong I would say that's the best so far I've come across on YT nicely done easy to follow. Keep it up.....👍

Hi, I'm a Sim pilot also, and I found out that you can open the cockpit door, and scroll or use the mouse and arrow keys to get back in the passenger area, and I was able to get by the wings and look out the window and see the Flaps in action!. Check it out, but it takes a while for the camera to get there. unless you do the speed hotkey trick, but I forgot which key it was. lol. Good luck. Terry

More of this. I loved Matt Davies' tutorial videos when he was making them, and there is definitely a void there now that he isn't doing them.

Hey Cat, I believe I'm able to do the exact same thing (without mod-ing a config file) by hitting Shift-6, setting up the view, then hitting the CTRL+NumPad button. I only learned this though by watching your video and experimenting. The video is much appreciated, thanks!

Thanks so much.I am new to x-plane and I have been flying flight sim x for years and trying something different.Great tutorial

Xplane 12 is going to be great balls of fire, after seeing this old video lol~!

Dude you’re awesome 😎... much thanks!

O thank this was very helpful. Have fun at sim con 😎

Point: Make sure your Num lock is on otherwise it wont work

thank you! good job describing procedures!

Outstanding! just what i was looking for to configure my X-Plane 11, Thank You. You The Best

You can open the cabin door and move throughout the cabin in the 737, as well as open all of the external doors and emergency exits.

Thanks! This helped me so much and im so happy!

Thx so much! I was dying to be able to get that wing view on the 738!

IT IS THE SIMPLE VIEW VIDEO EVER THANKS

Awesome, I have multiply monitors, with home cockpit, I always wanted set the middle monitor to view Hood with propeller only, and side monitors to wing view only. This video showed me how to hack the views in "X" and "Y" and "Z" access in word pad, thanks very much and regards.

Great vid Ty. Keep up the great work. Your content never disappoints.

I needed this, thanks a million, very good video!

Thanks for your guidance, it helped me a lot

This was very useful. Thank you

Instead of the glitch to ger through the door you can always open the door since the door does open and close on the base model 737-800 in xplane 11

Great video and strait to the point. Thank you

Catstrator....regarding the "x", "y" and "z" axis this might help. These are coordinates in three dimensions with "x" being horizontal, "y" being vertical and "z" being "up and down". Draw a straight line across a sheet of paper (laying on a table) from left to right. Next, draw another straight line down the sheet of paper from top to bottom with the two lines intersecting in the middle. The left to right line is the "x" axis with anything on the left side of the"y" axis line being ....-x....and anything on the right side of the of the "y" axis line being....+x or simply.....x. Same thing for the top to bottom line. Above the "x" axis line is "+y" or simply "y" and anything below the "x" axis line is....."-y". Where the two lines intersect is your "0,0" coordinate. Now imagine the paper laying on a table with a line going through the "0,0" coordinate from above the table to below. That's the "z" axis which is the height above or below the flat plane or table on which the paper is laying. Where all three lines intersect is called the "0,0,0" coordinate. Anything above the plane of the table is a "+z" or just "z" and anything below the plane of the table is called "-z". Now, any point in the entire system can be defined by location. All that's left to do is to decide on the units of measure.....i.e......inches, centimeters, feet,yards, miles, kilometers etc. Hope this helps. Great job on the video!!

Thank you!!! Ist helps a lot 😀 i was afraid of using xcamera. But this is much simpler 😉

This was realy helpfull thanks a lot for the video captain! Smashed the like #135

your the best! now I really love X-Plane all the more!

thank you so much this helped me a lot!

Thanks. Great tutorial

Extremely helpful, thank you!

Excellent video. Thanks for posting.

I have seitek yolk and X plane which automatically set the hat on the LH of the yolk to pan around inside and out, along with full stop and comma to pan in and out

This is why Xplane is so much better than Flight Simulator X this easy of setting views is a pure beauty.

It doesn't work for me. I hit CTRL (numpad number), for different views, but when i click that numpad number again, nothing happens... Please help.

Thank you, I downloaded the model to see if my computer would handle it and I spend the whole 20 minutes trying to do all the views LOL

Also, remember these days you can store 20 views per plane (used to be 10).

THANKS, this helped me a lot!

You helped me so mutch thank you :D totally subscribed

Hey, thanks for the tutorial. I have a question. How do you load up the configuration file? Thanks.

Great video, thanks for the tip on the hack.

I watched you and Jeff at flightsimcon. A little long landing xD! (To not taxi forever) Cool to see you in real life and then your channel! subbed and liked!

I followed and did everything but the views didn't work for me. I press the shift keys with the individual numbers but it didn't work. I also don't know how to pan inside the interior (passenger seating) of the airplane. Is there a plugin for that?

Brilliant, thanks so much for your help

finally a tutorial that actually helps

Thanks dude, helps so much!

Thank you. You are my hero

How do you get a scenery pluggin?

Good job, well done. I would appreciate to have 2 or 3 basic views on my joystick but did not succed to do so. Do you have any idea?

8:07 is that reverse thrust on the engines?

Great Vid. helped a lot. Thanks.

Thank you mate! :D

Thanks for the help but when you want to switch to the view do you press for example cntrl 5 or just 5

this didn't work for me, i pressed ctrl+# on the num pad and when i moved the camera and pressed the same keybind again, it did nothing. is there something im doing wrong?

Hey man how did you go back so far everytime I try to zoom out the seat is in the way

Thanks for the good info you have done.I have a question tho ,when you are taxiing loutside view looking from the tail forward as the plane is taxing, BUT when you turn The camera does not follow the tail, how make it follow the tail when I do the turns left and right ? Like we did in FSX or P3dv4 or 5 ?

Nice, helpful video thums up.,,but a, my file does not look lk. yours, does not have all those various cam coordinates but just a few lines. Is smtg. wrong in what I dloaded then..?

I love it! Just a quick question, are those default xplane trees in the scenery? Because they look really good!

Thank you. Helpful indeed!

Thanks for everything Ty I was always wondering how you got all those nice views of the plane. Also is it when you set the view say ctrl+4 for pilot's view, do you just type the key command ctrl+4 or just 4? I'm wondering this because I have speed brakes set for 4

the bit im not getting is how u get into the back of the plane with the mouse

Any idea why mine wont work? I'm pressing ctrl, number lock is on, what am I doing wrong

Hey bro, not able to fly with the help of mouse....is it possible to fly with only keyboards.....like taking left right up down.please help

How do I make the default 737 sound like a 737 and not like a computer generated 1995 sound effect?

Great tutorial!

Thanks for the help

Thank you. worked for me.

Amazing video, thanks for the hacks.

very helpful , thank you very much !

great video! I received a free copy of x plane 11 from FlightSimCon and I'm going to try to switch to it from FSX. Does X plane have camera shake effects built in?

Very good and got few good thoughts for me. I do have one question tho ..I need a view ""FIX to follow the Tail"" as to taxiing , as the plane is turning so is the View point staying with the Craft .What should I be doing to setup ?

Great video, thanks. I loved the original views on 5 and 2. I only have one small problem. I setup two external views for Cessna but as I'm turning the plane the external views also rotate thus spoiling the angle of the original view I did setup. Is there a way to handle this?

Thank you so much its was very helpful and I just did not do the wing cams because I couldn't get the folder but its ok but thank you so much and do you still stream on fridays(P.S. I live in South Africa)

After setting the num key for the camera view how do you then assign a yoke button to show the number key same view? Thanks.

Hello and thank you! Is there any way to map a view to a different monitor (without a plugin) so I could push the various cockpit control views to a fourth monitor?

thanks helped alot!

8:32 did you know what where is a door handle? which opens the door, its very smart

Can someone tell me how to get into the back seat so I can set the wing views? Thank you.

this is great! thx

Great Video but i want go know how to set up overlay camera so that when i take off i can see the cockpit view as well as i can see wing view at the same time.

And shift+w is good for shoot down a plane by fighter

excelent information! thank you!!

I don’t have this information in my pref document?

I am unable to save the word pad. It is saying that I don't have permission

Fantastic video!!!! thanks

I thought you could open the cockpit door, well for me it can

OMG THANKS, SOO MUCH FOR THIS!!!! Also, can you do a video on how to add aircraft, and scenery to X-Plane 11 because I got it through steam, and I can't find the aircraft folder.

Is this with x-camera or native xp camera system

Well done. Thx.

I miss some of te text dok on the pref tex, I dont finde where I can save outside wing cam, do you now how I can get that back?

Til this day I only watch this video on how to set the camara views on X-Plane

is it that easy?! i thought i had to install many things! thanks for the video btw super easy now thank u!

the 737 has its revers thrust on the whole time

Why does it not work? With presing control + a nummer?
