All of a sudden, when I push the keypad keys to go to just behind, just in front and so on in spot view I don't end up with the view I expected. When I push the "2" key I end up at 2:30 instead of at 6:00, the "4" key, and I get 5:30 instead of 9:00.I tried closing down and restarting both the computer and FS9, no change.Even worse the exact setting of the keys seems to be slightly rotating in a clockwise direction.Anyone know what is going on?* Orest

I bet you have your spot view set to "fixed." With the fixed option on, the num pad view is fixed to orient with the magnetic north. For example, 8 is North 6 is East, 2 is South, 4 is West. Go to your view options and pick "Roll" and it will then orient the view to the aircraft (8 to view nose etc.).
