Drone Camera with Xbox Controller - Horizon Tilt

Recommended Posts

Several updates ago, there appeared to be a bug introduced where when viewing your plane with the drone camera, the horizon would start to tilt over time.  It's not an obvious movement, like "what's wrong with my controller?", but rather a very subtle effect that you notice after several minutes have gone by and you realize you need to correct it back to a level horizon.  

Does anyone recall if a fix or solution was found for this?  Is it specific to the controller or are others who don't use a controller experiencing this too?

I know what you mean, you can bind a button to Reset the horizon tilt somewhere in the menu, I forget the exact name but I've got this bound to one of my Xbox controller buttons so it's very quick.

by default horizon reset is bound to the spacebar. Really no need to bind it to the controller unless you're nowhere near the keyboard. Or on an x-box.

I am assuming you are using the default profile for the drone camera. If so, make a copy of the profile. By doing so you will have to have a different name for the new profile, use this 'new' profile and the drifting stops.

I don't know if MSFS has fixed the problem, but the fix I shared here fixed it for me way back when the problem was introduced. I never tried going back to the default profile. I have done the same for all my controllers.

May I ask how you make a new profile for the drone camera?

I am not at the computer now. If I remember correctly, at bottom of the controller's page there is a 'profile manager'. There is an option to copy the profile, once you select 'copy', a window pops up requesting a name for the copy. Name it, and you are good to go. Edit the copy profile as you wish.
