Problems with MSFS camera system

[VitaminA330 57]

Hi together,

I've been using MSFS here and there for a while, while my main simulator remains P3d v4.

One thing that prevents me from using MSFS more, is the camera system and the absence of ChasePlane. Why? Because I can neither save, nor load custom camera views in the aircraft. Normally that should work using Ctrl + Alt + <number> to save a custom view, and using Alt + <number> should load a custom view. However, that has never ever worked on my system, even if the keyboard assignments reflect exactly that. What is working, is Ctrl + <number> to load a view inside the cockpit, and saving views doesn't work at all. Shouldn't that be the case in the "instrument view" only? I've got the impression, that I'm in a wrong "mode", which sets the Ctrl + <number> option free, and doesn't support the Ctrl + Alt + <number> option. If I switch to cockpit view in the camera menu, the same happens.

Could anyone imagine, what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Dominik

Hi Dominik,

Don't know why it's not working for you it always has for me.  The Ctrl+number is set up by whomever created the particular airframe and I don't think it's easily changed.  The Ctrl+Alt+number to create a custom view works as it should here.   I can show you what the camera dropdown looks like for me (I never use this dropdown) but perhaps you will see something different:
