October 14, 20178 yr How do you assign a button or key for Top Down View in v4.1. I don't see a Top Down View selection option in the Key/Button list in the Control Section. P3D v3 has that selection which I used a lot. Comes in handy for taxing around an airport. Jim
October 14, 20178 yr Moderator Just use the S key to go into spot view and cycle the A key several times, I have both the S & A mapped to yoke buttons so it's a quick move. Also IIRC the F12 key is mapped there. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
October 14, 20178 yr Author Thanks for the advice. Seems strange that they did away with the Top Down View option that they had in v3. Jim
October 14, 20178 yr I am also on V4.1 and it still works as before. I have in the key assignments "view camera 4" assigned to F12 and that gives me a top down view. Did you recently install something new ? some aircraft or tools reassign this. b rdgs / Dick =
October 14, 20178 yr Author Hey Dick, I did just install Chaseplane so maybe that has something to do with it. I'll try that view camera 4 and see how that does. I've always been a little fuzzy on how to use the view camera (x) options. How did you know that camera 4 would give you the top down view? Thanks for the info. Jim
October 15, 20178 yr Hi Jim, Just delete your camera,cfg and let P3D rebuild a new one, That should solve your issue. - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
October 15, 20178 yr Author Hi David, Took your advice and it worked ok. The Top Down View is still not listed but F12 is the default for it. That works ok so I'll go with it. Thanks for the help. Jim

Jim Jim, indeed chaseplane does take over this view. In your camera,cfg [cameradefintion.006] should end with "HotKeyselect=4" Any other hotkeyselect=4 options should be hashed out .. that is to say you put "//" in front of the line As far as I remember Chaseplane added the hotkeyselect=x to their cameradefintions and effectively override the default views. So I hashed out the chaseplane one's Does chaseplane still work after rebuilding your cameras.cfg ? b rdgs / Dick
October 15, 20178 yr My pleasure Jim! - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
October 15, 20178 yr Author Hi Dick, Yeah, Chaseplane still works ok after deleting the Camera.cfg. Nothing changed there. And thanks again for the info. Jim
October 25, 20178 yr Hi guys:: Rebuilt the camera.cfg file and checked the file for any other hotkey select=4 entries (none) and I do have Chase Plane. If I hit F12 I get a shift to a cockpit wing view. View camera 4 is set to F12. I can get it by hitting the S key and cycling A after 3 hits as VGBARON suggested. Just seems like there should be an easier way??? I'm on P3DV4.1 and F12 did work before Chase Plane install. Dennis
