July 2, 20241 yr I fly the PMDG 737 and 777 almost exclusively. The 777 has pre-set viewpoints for the various panels that I can select using numbers 1-9. This works fine for me but the 737 (as far as I can tell) I set the viewpoints using ctrl-alt-num and then alt-num to bring it up. The alt-num is buggy and I’d like something else, like the 777 pre-sets. Thoughts?
July 3, 20241 yr You can download camera views for the 737/777 from flightsim.to. Just make sure on the keyboard settings you change your key press bindings to something simple. The camera system in MSFS is unintuitive and clunky. I'm hoping Chaseplane makes an appearance soon, P42 seem to be on a streak of releases lately. Edited July 3, 20241 yr by ErichB
July 3, 20241 yr Joystick hat switch for VC views, plus NumPad DEL key to switch back to forward view. As for external, I only really go out there when I am on the ground (DRONE camera).

I recall the views using the numpad (instead of the standard alt-num); Easy peasy 🙂 AMD 7 7700X, 32GB DDR5, RTX 5060ti 16GB, 2 x Samsung 1TB NVMe, 1 x 4TB sata SSD, Windows 11 Prof
July 3, 20241 yr My PMDG 737 has standard views out of the box like you described for the 777, e.g. 'Toggle Instrument View 3' in MSFS (Ctrl 3) is the left CDU. I use a mini-joystick on my CH throttle assigned to 'Cockpit View Yaw' & 'Cockpit View Pitch' axes to look around, and a hat switch assigned to 'Transplate Cockpit View Left/RIght' & 'Zoom/Unzoom Cockpit View' to focus on panels, instruments, etc. This is great as it works for all aircraft without using different controller profiles. For quick access to the 737 overhead panel, control column, and pedestal, I bound controller buttons to the standard views. I got a STECS delivered yesterday to replace the CH, rushed home to set it up but couldn't because Xbox Live was down.

Here's hoping, almost praying, they significantly improve this in MSFS2024.
