When switching to the external view in VR, there doesn't seem to be a way to zoom in close to the aircraft as you would do for a external inspection, etc.  Some same functions for monitors/2D do not

seem to work in VR.  I'm limited to just the right mouse button vertical and rotation about the centerpoint of the aircraft without any way of getting closer.   Any insights would be appreciated

Drone view (INSERT key) is perfect for walk arounds. With a Xbox controller even better.

Gotta use the drone feature for MSFS.

Until they give us proper eyepoint implementations in VR like Flyinside

Yes, the drone view is great for that. The only problem I have is that very often my xbox controller goes bonkers. The view just moves downwards. Sometimes it works for a few flights and sometimes it happens every time I plug it in. Really annoying. Does anybody happen to know how to solve this?

I bind the VR cockpit view position key binds to buttons on my joystick.  With that I can move all around the outside of the aircraft with no problem.  I can get as close as I want to any part of the aircraft, no zoom needed.  This also allows me to move outside the aircraft when flying to get a good look at the fuselage while in the air.  Pretty handy.

Gonna give this a try! I still have some button real estate left on my HOTAS T16000M
