October 5, 20241 yr I was able to set up custom views, thanks to the great SimHangerFS Youtube tutorial. Wanting to be able to easily cycle through these, I assigned Load Previous Custom Camera and Load Next Custom Camera to two buttons on my yoke. They have no effect. I can change customs views using the Alt+ number keys, which tells me the views were created successfully. Am missing something? All the other button/key assignments I made work fine. Thanks for your assistance.
October 5, 20241 yr It seems that you have to recall one of those views to be able to cycle forwards or back. I use a similar setup but have a button assigned to alt + 0 (usually the main "captain view) from which I can cycle back and forth.

Thanks for your assistance. I use this metod, and it works great. Here's a step by step: 1. Go into Options > General > Camera (NOT the in-flight Camera Menu) and make absolutely sure that Height, Horizontal Position, and Zoom are set to 50! These are the global values and if they're not set to default (50), all of your future custom views will not save correctly. This is probably a bug because it's counter intuitive to apply global changes all over again when trying to save a view; but it is what it is. 2. In Options > Controls, search for the command "VFR Pilot View Save" and assign a key binding. By default, this command is unassigned... I assigned it to Ctrl + Alt + V. 3. Make a note of your controller assignments for "Reset Cockpit View". Default is Left Ctrl + Spacebar and/or "F" (I also have it assigned to the trigger on my joystick). 4. Load the aircraft of your choice and use the translation, look, and zoom controls to position the camera exactly where you want it. When you have what you want for a default view, press the "VFR Pilot View Save" binding assigned in step 2 (Ctrl + Alt + V in my case). Now, every time you press the "Reset Cockpit View" button(s), it will go back to this view and will NOT alternate to other intermediate views with subsequent presses... yay! 5. Now that you have a default view defined, custom cameras may also be saved the same way using the associated key bindings... default is Left Ctrl + Left Alt + Numpad 0 to 9. These views are recalled using the corresponding "Load Custom Camera #" commands... default is Left Alt + Numpad 0 to 9 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to set individualized default and custom views for each aircraft you own.
