After five "funny" hours customizing the controllers

Featured Replies

..  I finally managed to assign all cockpit/external/drone camera assignments to my controller.

However I still can't get out from drone camera to get back to the cockpit. Using "toggle drone camera" does not work. Please help. I can only get back to external view. My reflux is increasing too...

Somebdy who is in charge for this "reversed engineering* controller aspect of the sim is really "out of place". S/he would have made a good politician!

Try "toggle cockpit view".

First I would go to controls, then switch to a different profile and then back to the profile you made. I had some problems with that initially, that controls wouldn't work right until I did that. Then also make sure you apply the profiles as default / to all planes initially. 

Outside of that, sounds like you could also be using both external view and drone view, which are two different things. Once you've hit drone view, then hitting the external view bind means you sometime just switch between a third person cam and a cam locked to the back of the plane. You need to hit drone view again to switch back to the mode that allows to get back into cockpit.

You need 3 keys.
1 for Cockpit/External View Mode
1 for Toggle Drone
1 for Toggle Cockpit View

When you are in Drone View, press the Toggle Cockpit View key, and you'll be directly in the cockpit.

Yeah, but...

In every other sim I have ever used, "toggle" means press it once to go to something, and press it again to go back to where you started!!!!

When did "toggle" get re-defined?? Must have been some faceless committee somewhere meeting in secret...

This. It took me a whole evening of simming time to figure it out.….🥲

Agreed. The controls and binds are frustrating and needs patching, I hope this gets fixed.

Before you lose your mind search for how to backup those setting files. I have read a few times people losing all their settings.

Never even tried the Drone Camera, since FS 2020... I believe it could be interesting, but I've read it's better used through an xBox gamepad (?)

Will have to give it a try one of these days...

This... I struggled for days with trying to set up my controller and could not get past the issue of toggling to drone camera mode and back to the cockpit. It simply wouldn't work properly no matter what I did. Only when I added the toggle cockpit view to my keyboard and started going back to the cockpit from the drone camera with this key did I solve the problem and enjoyed a better experience. Now it works seamlessly.

I believe i had the same problem with Toogle Drone until i found out it was set to repeat in the settings. Disabling this and now no problems toggle drone view and back to previous cockpit view
