My configuration is as followsĬustom Camera 7 → 45 degrees to the front left viewĬustom Camera 9 → 45 degrees to the front right viewĬustom Camera 1 → 120 degrees to the back left viewĬustom Camera 3 → 120 degrees to the back right view

(we will assign the load shortcuts later below) Also make sure to click the numbers above the letters NOT the ones in the numpad. Important Note: use “LEFT” Ctrl and “LEFT” ALT. (A) Configure the first camera by positioning, for example, your view to be 45 degrees front view (you may use the free camera using the mouse to make the configuration precise including the desired zoom), then use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+7 to save it on custom camera #7 The idea is to use one hand on the numpad of the keyboard or on the throttle buttons (as in TWCS throttle) to control the views. In the following, I’m sharing my configuration of custom cameras which made my experience much easier and enjoyable. I’m reposting it here in the public forum since the alpha forum cannot be accessed by newcomers.

for details on how to configure hat switch please refer to my response to a question below in the chain of this post.Īs an alpha tester, I had several tries and I posted my setting which was liked by many.

This is because I found it irritating and not natural to move from extreme left to extreme right back position with just the hat switch.

I’m also sometimes using Translate key to move within the cockpit.

In fact, my configuration is to use custom camera first then to use the hat switch to fine tune my view. Of course you can configure your POV/hat switch to look around inside the cockpit. Flight simulator has a robust camera system (if configured correctly). For a lot people, the cockpit views during navigation could be a challenge without head TrackIR / VR.
