Good old hat switch to move the view?

[Jeeeno 314]

Has anyone found out how is it called in MSFS? 

Thanks

Its called cockpit look left, cockpit look right, cockpit look up, cockpit look down. Make sure that you look in the "all" filter, and not just the assigned ones.

Good tip!  I had to point this out to some other people in the Alpha too.

If you want your POV hat to also work in External and Drone modes you’ll also need to map the hat to:

- External View Look Up/Down/Left/Right

- Pitch Drone Up/Down

- Yaw Drone Left/Right

If you coul tell us how to reduce the sensivity for the hat switch in external view that would be great. ATM not usable for me

There are also axis view type of buttons for joystick hat switch.

The speed of the external camera is controlled globally in:

Options \ General \ Camera \ External Freelook Speed

You can set it temporarily via the inflight Camera quick bar where again the “External Freelook Speed” option determines the speed of motion.

you may want to play with the External Freelook Momentum option too

In the old fsx i could assign a "move eyepoint function " to my 2nd pov hat. im trying to assign so i can move up and down in the cockpit.. what it called  in 2020

i think it is now called "translate" but how do you map the main pow hat cockpit camera

they made this complicated

 

thank you

I can only get the hat switch to work in either cockpit or external. Not both. VKB Gladiator MKII

My extreme 3d pro showed up on start already mapped, but I can't change the hat to just look left or right for exterior. It works for cockpit view, but only quick look left/right work on exterior. For example if exterior is set to look left or look left locked nothing happens, only the quick view which I don't like. I hate having to pan around in exterior using the mouse.

You can set it to both, even though it says there is a conflict. The action only works in the appropriate view.

I use a VKB Gladiator MKII with a MCG Pro grip and it works fine for me.
