Can't access the standard views (IFR, VFR, Landing)
-
Hi Nick.
I bought and installed the Bonanza Professional and Baron Professional today. This applies to both. I do plan on purchasing the Caravan Professional too. I really like you work.
The first thing I always do is check the cameras. The Right and Left Quick Views work as expected. But the IFR, VFR, and Landing views are not set and I can't set them. Those views are F9, F10, and F11 for me. And I can save them with Ctrl F9, etc. I have them assigned to my joystick thumb switch and it makes it easy to look left and right as well as close to the panel (IFR view) and landing view (looking over the panel).
What do I need to do to assign those standard views other than use my custom camera assignments?The camera standards are defined here:
https://docs.flightsimulator.com/msfs2024/html/5_Content_Configuration/CFG_Files/Camera/Implementing_Cameras.htm?tocid=7_2_0_8_0&utm_source=chatgpt.com -
I added the IFR and Landing views to cameras.cfg. Now I am able to adjust and save those views.
Here are the added CAMERADEFINITION blocks:
