October 16, 20214 yr This started yesterday, and I restarted pc and thought it was fixed. I tried two aircraft, and same issue. In The cockpit view, the view slowly pans to the left. This happens with Track IR on or off. To center the view again, I hit the F key, and it goes back to centers and then starts drifting again. I am wondering if something has screwed up in MSFS requiring a reinstall. If I use the hat switch and switch to left or right window, the view is steady and doesn't move. As soon as I go back to center view, it starts drifting again. Edited October 16, 20214 yr by Bobsk8
October 16, 20214 yr Could be they're ramping up for the October 19th update. <grin> Ok, I have TrackIR. How do I set things up to try and duplicate the problem? -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe
October 16, 20214 yr Author I solved it. Luckily a google search turned up the problem posted on the FS Forum. I have a X Box controller that I use only for the Drone Camera . It was this controller causing the view to slowly drift to the left. I unplugged it, and problem solved.... Whew!!!
October 16, 20214 yr Could not duplicate the problem using TrackIR and a CH yoke. Tried panning around internal and external with TrackIR, the hat switch and freelook mouse. I don't get the "view slowly pans to the left." TrackIR was paused by turning off in the camera menu and my keyboard "pause" key. Just read your reply. Good detective work. -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe

Yeah, I bought one of these $25 knockoffs from Amazon, I will try it again, on the next flight and see if it was just a hiccup. Been working OK up till now, about 6 months.
October 16, 20214 yr Yes I also had this fun after updating to SU5. I finally solved it following good advice from this forum by resetting all my X Box axes settings in MSFS.

I have a Logitech wireless xbox controller I that I also only use for the drone camera. Unplugged the little wireless dongle, and the problem disappeared. This has happed to me once before, but I did not realize at time what was causing it. Strange issue.

October 16, 20214 yr Author I unplugged the X Box controller, restarted PC and MSFS, and now everything is back to normal and the X box controller works the drone camera just as before. ????

I had this, but it was the map slowly scrolling which meant I was unable to click on a waypoint. I was using the same Xbox controller since launch so have put it down to wear and tear - luckily I have a 2nd unit which works flawlessly. edit: creating deadzones makes no difference Edited October 16, 20214 yr by hanhamreds New PC Ryzen 9850X3D - 32gb ddr5 6000Mhz - MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk wifi - Gigabyte wind force gaming OC 5090 - 2TB Sabrent NVMe.

October 16, 20214 yr I had this problem with the X-Box controller after SU5 - created dead zones on all X-Box axis as per forum recommendation - everything now works fine. 9800X3D + RTX 4080 + 64GB DDR5

I think you may have discovered the issue. The Null zones make sense, that way if the X box isn't zero'd correctly it could be causing the view to drift. I just set the null zones on my X box controller and so far everything is working OK.
