All Views Snap Back to Pilot Position

[planenut 19]

This problem has been happening off and on for several months.  I have all my views preset and they work fine (most of the time).   Then for some unknown reason when I change a view, say going from the pilot view to the copilot view, it snaps back to the pilot view position.  It won't stay locked on to the new view I selected.  It does this on every view I select.  Don't know if I have accidently changed something or not.  Right now I'm using P3d v 4.2 but it also did it in v4.

Also, when this happens I can't select anything on the main page.  Everything is locked up.

Hi Jim,

This is usually a sign that you have control assignments set in the simulator to control views or that you have another software interfering with the ChasePlane camera.

Hi Keven,

After posting this I kept investigating.  This is what I found:  First of all it seemed to be happening on only one plane - the new Carenado F50, although it had done this with other planes in the past.  Then I noticed that on my #2 engine mixture control when put it into the cutoff position (all the way back to engage the switch), the problem would appear.  When moving it out of the cutoff position Chaseplane would  work fine.  I suspected a conflict so I went through all my settings but could never find one.  I just removed all the camera settings for that plane and assigned them again.  All has been ok ever since.  Thanks for the reply and suggestion about the possible cause.
