How to move camera in outside view ?

LOELI12 · June 17, 2017 at 6:59 PM

Hi,
I would like to know, how can I move resp. rotate camera in outside views ? Changing the view to outside, gives me a fixed point of view, which cannot be changed. Hat switch on Yoke does not work in outside view.
Thank you.

Sure it does. You just need to pick one of the exterior views where you can. On my screen - it is the top right corner icon - with the View Icons displayed. I use it all the time.

Hi Ray,
thank you for your advice. It took me some time to detect the icons.

If you're talking about the little fan shaped views icon (lower right on my screen), only three of these allow any movement.

You can change the mapping of the various views in the sim settings - mine works fine with the hat switch, and you can click and drag with the mouse also.
The preset views don't do much for me:

About a month ago I laughingly queried 'Chase Plane' about getting involved with Aerofly - no response yet. They have indicated a possibility with FSW so l imagine they're limited to FSX derivative engines.
