HOW TO: STOP the TILT in Microsoft Flight Simulator - YouTube

Great, I've been looking for this. Can this also be applied for custom cameras ?

This video could have been a paragraph! Kudos to the uploader for making a summary in the description. I'll copy it here:

The how to:

1) Start the sim, load in to the aircraft of choice, set the camera and zoom how you'd like and use your "Save custom camera" option, for me I chose Ctrl Alt 1

2) Browse to your custom camera directory, for example the C172 G1000 for me is: "C:\Users\[Your user name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_C172sp_AS1000" 

3) Open the camera.cfg and find the "Initial Zoom", "InitialXyz" and "InitialPbh". These are the 3 fields well need to overwrite in the aircrafts stock camera config file.

4) Browse to 3rd party or stock aircrafts directory. I run a customer MSFS directory, so for me, the stock Asobo C172 G1000 is in: C:\MSFS\Official\OneStore\asobo-aircraft-c172sp-as1000, however, the camera config file is in a few folders deeper, in SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_C172sp_AS1000 
Full path: C:\MSFS\Official\OneStore\asobo-aircraft-c172sp-as1000\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_C172sp_AS1000

5) Open the camera.cfg file in this directory. Your going to copy and overwrite the zoom, xyz and pbh lines exactly from the custom file to one of the instrument views you are willing to give up. For the stock 172, It was camera definition 12 labeled Title ="Instruments".
Overwrite the lines, save the file and start the sim. Once your loaded in, press "ctrl 1" and it should bring you too a mirror image of your customer camera including the zoom, without any tilting or banking.

 

So, in a shorter summary, all I have to do is to convert my custom views to instrument ones! Gotta try it tonight, looks promising. All I need now regarding views is to remove the transitions.
