I think I am reasonably bright, but I simply cannot figure out how to set up even basic views…Some of them seem to be called by different names than I am used to…As are some functions…When I want to pause the program to, say, take a screen shot and I use the “” key, the program pauses but the main menu is placed in front of my flight view so it is useless…How do I do a simple “Pause” without the menu popping up? I can’t determine where the simple “Slew” function is…I want to set the “Eyepoints” but can’t figure out how to do it…It seems that some of the flight controls have also been linked to view commands…I would sure appreciate a simple guide to setting the simplest of views…Thanks a lot!

Mark at Sim Hanger does a good job explaing how to set up view's in this video :

When you hit pause , the menu will pop up ; but it will go away after a few seconds . Then take your screen shot .
