TopDown view disappeared in version 4.1

Hi,

As the title says, I can no longer assign a shortcut key or button for viewing TopDown. It has simply disappeared from the key controls. Only remeaning option is to select it from the view menu. Any others have noticed this?

I tried the top down view yesterday and the view showed my plane but it was magnified giving me a very limited view of the area.  I did not experiment with it but will do so in the future.  I would be interested if you are able to get it to work properly.   I miss having the ability to see where my plane is with the confusion between airport parking spots and LM's description of parking areas.

Hi Jos,

Yes it happens to me from time to time.

Delete you camera.cfg file and let P3D rebuild a new one.
You'll find it in C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4

Ok, David. I'll give that a try. Thank you for the advise.

When I select the TopDown view in the view menu, it works fine, Ken.

Well, I did delete camera.cfg but that didn't solve the problem. The TopDown view has gone from the control panel. There is an option to open the TopDown in a new window but that is not what I was looking for.

Jos, are you using EZCA?
If yes, so run EZCA config tool once and see if it helps.
