Easy Custom Cockpit Cameras | Custom Views Tutorial | MSFS2020 

Note: When you first set a camera up using Ctrl+Alt+[number], you have to hit F to go back to the pilot view. But after you have it set up, you just hit the number to look at the view and then hit the same number to go back to the pilot view.

This is basic stuff -- all of which I either never learned or forgot about! Thanks a million for this video

Thank you @IslandSimPilot. I've done something similar, but your clear, measured and articulate explanations are so helpful, I'm going back to my setup and simplifying it. Love all your videos!

I use this way of camera handling for a long time. Instead of using the upper numeric keys I use the numpad keys. The assignment is exactly as in the video. In the sim you have to map the numpad keys. Works perfect.

FYI, if you have a 2 seat fighter aircraft with the pilot in front and a weapon system operator (WSO) or radar intercept operator (RIO) behind the pilot there is a keyboard mapping for "View Copilot". It took me a while to figure this out and I now have it mapped on my joystick. 😉

3:41 "So there's really only 10 keys or 10 movements". Yes, and all 5 of these can be assigned to axis instead of to keys or buttons. And I use an old CH quad that I had lying around from the old days which has 6 axis throttle levers. I assigned 5 of those levers for these movements. For instance move one lever forward or backward slides the view left or right. Thus 5 levers controls all 10 movements. As for the other lever, I made that my true zoom lever (instead of move camera forward/backward). I removed the zoom function off of the mouse wheel to keep it from zooming when I wanted to use the wheel to adjust radio dials. I also had to change the sensitivities on the 6 axis to make it smooth and usable. In the MSFS sensitivities window. This is just an idea for anyone with an old CH Quad (it also has 12 buttons on 6 two way momentary flippers below the levers). But I wouldn't recommend buying the CH Quad because the sensitivities can't be adjusted to work perfectly. Using buttons or key is actually more satisfactory it seems to me.

Very helpful-thanks!

Yayy! Thanks 👌😁

Good video, young man!

I’m first and thank you!! More great material! 💎

Great info!!! You don't use a eye/head tracker? I use to use these kind of views. I would have a button on my yoke to cycle through them. Then I started using poor mans head tracker. I assign my yoke top hat knob to view all around the cockpit, and then I have a rocker switch on my yoke for zooming in and out.Now I have just bought Beam Eye Tracker, and a web cam. Not sure I can get use to the eye/head tracking. Kinda makes me dizzy...lol. I use it most of the time to just look right and left for traffic.

plz next video on how to capture landing and take off shorts and also redear views

awesome video thank you, do it auto save the profile to the plane or do you have to create them and choose the profile per plane each time you use it?

Don't know if you read the comments but I have a Razor mouse with 12 push keys where you just with your thumb push the button that corresponds to the camera you want. With P3D we had Chase Plane and so easy to set up but with fs2020 there is none ---any one know a way to use this mouse with fs2020?
