I absolutely hope Chaseplane comes to MSFS.  Or MSFS uses similar functionality to save preset views per specific aircraft.

so you can save individual views (unique to different aircraft) and then bind them to a key?  Ie, push left on controller A while in the 737 and show EFB.  Push up and show Overhead panel.  etc etc.

That was an observation based on the video posted, not a confirmation. I'm one of the great unwashed who's not got the beta, so I couldn't tell you. 🤣

Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

i had the alpha but never had the patience to thoroughly test this part.  don't have it installed anymore, so can't test it.

Is it possible to set up a X-box controller to control the camera system, OR can we assign ie. the numeric keys to different camera views? 

And what will you prefer, the extra x-box controller (if it's possible) or the numeric keys on your keyboard?

Plane specific. There are videos on YouTube showcasing that.

thanks for that info, there are also alot of showcase vids with not presetting at all.

I just saw Squirrel's VFR vid and was he using TrackIR ?

Yes, the Xbox controller is recommended. It comes setup to use the drone camera and it works perfectly.

There is a cockpit camera saving system. Pretty similar to X-Plane’s implementation.  

Does this mean presets with customs views (key binding)?

I don't really remember X-Plane's system as I always used the X-Camera Addon that allowed for views. offsets, and key binding. The system also had views that would disable Trackir while in that view.

There was a profile for each plane.

TrackIR support is great, but is there a FOV view ? I.m planning to get a 49 inch monitor and run it whole screen, so I would like to adjust my FOV to make a bit more realistic experience. In X-Plane there is X-Camera, witch is far more better than the default camera, and this brings the next question, Can I set TrackIR limits in MSFS 2020 ? If the default camera in MSFS 2020 is really bad, I hope that there will be a 3rd party improvement, in FSX there was one, I just can´t remember it´s name. Well we wait and see couple of weeks

I would be curious; someone said you can save 10 views to a key of choice?

Is that 10 VC and 10 external etc?  Or 10 all told?
