MSFS Cockpit Quickviews broken

[goggi 9]

Has anyone else had problems with Cockpit Quickviews (CQ) after SU7?

All my Cockpit Quickviews are inoperative, regardless of key choice or even peripheral used (joystick, keyboard).
After extensive tests I determined that:

1- all physical buttons/keys assigned to CQ work fine by themselves (checked by assigning them to other, different actions);

2- the problem remains when assigning the same Quickviews to keys/buttons different from those in (1);

3- the problem affects all (and only) Cockpit Quickviews;

4- the problem does NOT affect External Quickviews.

In addition, Cockpit Look X (X= L/R, U/D, ... using e.g. the joystick Hat Switch) work fine.
All in all, the problem seems to reside within MSFS and to be limited to a handful of controls (just CQ).

- In case others had similar problems, I shall report to the MSFS zendesk.
- In case this affects just my setup (some corrupted file somewhere?), is there any suggestion on how to proceed, other than re-installing the whole MSFS?
  I fear that, control mappings being stored in the Cloud, a long, tedious work might end up in no change ….

Thank you,
Giorgio

I have an issue with quick view, too, which I think started with SU6 but seems to be different from yours. I had the left/right coolie hat switch set to quick view left/right and when I tilt the coolie hat to, e.g., the left view turns to the left, but doesn't return to straight after releasing it.

I didn't care that much as I mostly fly under VR so far, but something seems to have changed.

Kind regards, Michael

I use the default LB+D-Pad and they all work. I even managed to have "next pilot position" working without freezing, by disabling the middle mouse button.

Definitely something with your setup.

The whole camera system has been erratic for me since SU7.

If you have MSFS2020 you already have it. Options > Controls Options > Keyboard > Camera > Cockpit Camera >

Save Custom Camera 0 - 9

Load Custom Camera 0 - 9

I kept the default key combo to save the camera views and the Keypad 0 - 9 to load the camera views. Takes about as long as Chaseplane to setup. Other camera views are available (exterior, drone) but I haven't played around with those.

Number of Youtube videos explain the process.

are these airplane specific?  Can you assign the keys to a controller instead?  I like being able to have interior/exterior views assigned to the same controller also

Solved. 
For mysterious reasons (at least to me), the culprit was the General/Camera/Home Cockpit Mode = ON. Setting it back to OFF solved the issue.
Twenty6: that was indeed my intention, once this issue was over. It is now.
micstatic: I had tried this too, all planes behaved the same (of course, the problem being in GeneralOptions).

If someone explains to me what this Home mode (undocumented) is, I would appreciate.
Thanks to all for suggestions,
Giorgio

As far as I recall, this was intended for home cockpit/panel builders (like me) who don't need a panel on display as they have one in hardware. It should (i) place the pilot in its usual place on the seat, and (ii) remove the cockpit display (as did the 'W' key under FSX/P3D). Unfortunately, (ii) never worked so (i) alone is useless.

There are several threads on this in the official forum. It's a quite simple feature but Asobo has been unable to realize it properly for months now.

But thanks for the hint, I'll give it a try.

Kind regards, Michael

OK, Michael, thank you very much.
It is a real trap.

Kind regards,

Just confirming that my Cockpit Quickviews via joystick were not working and turning off Home Cockpit setting fixed the issue for me also. Thanks for the thread!
