I have been trying to set some cockpit camera views using Ctrl + Alt+ # (a digit 0 to 9).  However, when I recall the camera view with Alt + #, the zoom level is way off.  So it seems I am doing something wrong -- but what?  Thanks.

I've struggled a bit with this as well. The only way I can get it to work is:

1) Make totally sure you're initially in default view/zoom (I have a joystick button mapped to that).

2) Set up your new view and save (as per usual).

3) Before activating the new view, make sure you're starting from the default view+zoom.

It's all very confusing, to say the least.

Thanks for the response.

For some reason my default zoom level seems to be 80. So every time I recall a saved camera view the zoom returns to 80. Another user that does not have this problem has a default zoom level of 50. Is there a way to reset the default zoom level?

Yes, in the settings, under general, under camera...there's height, horizontal position, zoom, etc

I have zoom at 50 so that's the default zoom for me unless i change it. Ilike 50 om my 37 inch tv

Thanks very much for the info!  That seems to have solved my problem.

Good morning,

I'm not sure I understand your point 3 work around. I do have the same problem and I changed my defaut zoom to 59.

Also, I supposed I'm not the only one to have save a button to recall custom view 0 (my main captain view), and struggle with to views cascading one after the other when pressing this recall function. Anyone got to solve this issue ?

Thanks for the help.

It's not *always* required. Sometimes (for example in the FBW A320) I'm in a the CTRL-5 view (MCDU) ... if I then go into my custom ALT-1 view (FlyPad, zoomed in) then it's all over the place. I have to go back to the default VC view and *then* into the ALT-1 custom view.

I think I get it. Tell me precisely what recall function you have binded to your controller please.

Thanks

I have my X56 button D mapped in MSFS (JOSTICK BUTTON 5) to:

COCKPIT CAMERA:
    VFR PILOT VIEW RESET
    RESET COCKPIT VIEW
    IFR PILOT VIEW RESET
DRONE CAMERA:
    RESET DRONE TARGET OFFSET
EXTERNAL CAMERA:
    RESET EXTERNAL VIEW
FIXED CAMERA:
    RESET FIXED CAMERA
    RESET SMARTCAM

Some of the above may be duplicated or redundant, but I use the same button to reset *everything* - inside and out. I've been using this combination for a long time now and it works fine for me.
