Wow, yeah reinstalling all of my addons would be far less pleasant than just living with a remapped key.

Just hold the shift key down and hit the numpad keys like you used to. Problem solved.

I tried that, but shift del did not work even though that’s what was listed in the controls

Try NumLock Off first then press "S". Now shift+numpad works as in version 4.1 from outside view.

With NumLock On, Shift+numpad does new actions from outside view.

Do we need to go back from version 4.2 to 4.1?

I don't use DEL key.

Interestingly, I assigned that function to my other delete key (next to pgup pgdn on my keyboard) and p3d registered it as “num del”, even though it’s not that key.  Anyway it’s working now.

What is DEL key used for in P3Dv4.1?

Resetting the view.  Particularly useful in spot view

Just learned today is a camera add-on. I don't have it. No plan to give a try on it yet.

All the features of ChasePlane don't work with v 4.2 yet so it may not fix your issue.

I have v4.2 on my system with no addons and the numpad keys work correctly.

Load aircraft F-22 Raptor (default) and press "S" then check NumLock in ON. Now, press numpad any number. Did it work for you?

Yep... works just fine.

So, your About is v4.1 correct?

No... it is not.  The About shows 4.2.21.24048.  Just to be clear, you uninstalled your 4.1 before installing 4.2... right?  Because if you didn't... then your install is now messed up.

I followed the recommended P3D procedures. I uninstalled Client, Content and Scenery. Installed the v4.2 Client, Content and Scenery. I didn't uninstall the full v4.1 Then, all became fine until I found the NumPad changed. I had to use Shift key to make the NumPad to work. I didn't like that so I returned back to v4.1 Now, with V4.1 the NumPad works as I want, like it was and as the FSX and fs9 sims. From my About I had the v4.2 version as yours.

In your v4.2 did you change something to make the NumPad to work as V4.1?
