FSX-MS how to free look in virtual cockpit or outside of plane?

Hello Stephane.  First check here to make sure you have the correct View assigned to the   Mouse - Control view direction (on/off)

yes it is on with space as the key selected

That is strange Stephane.  You could try Reset Defaults and hit ok, maybe theres a confliction with another key.  But this will reset all your keys!!  

 

The space bar does work in general yes?  

 

Had a quick look on Google, a couple of reports of it alight, i didn't see any solutions though

 

 

*EDIT*

 

Stephane do you have it assigned to another axis?   This sounds something similar to your issue

To look around, either use the hat on a joy stick, or hold space and move the cursor around. I personally don't have anything like EZDok, too complicated for me!

I'm using my Mouse-view pretty much, when I pause my TrackIR view.

There seem to be a misconception that you have to HOLD the specebar (or whatever key/ joy-button you use) to get the Mouse-view working. However that's not the case for FSX.

By deleting 2 of the 3 "Mouse view-direction on/off" in "controls" so you only have 1 left,

you can use 1 single key/ joy-button press to enter the Mouse view & then press again to exit.

Is it possible that FSUIPC interfers with the fact that it doesn't work?

I would say more then likely
