MSFS 2024: Right click and hold won't free look

Featured Replies

In mouse settings, right click and hold is enabled as 'Cockpit free look', however suddenly (it's been working fine for the last two months), it won't work.

Also, just checked, clicking the centre mouse button doesn't enable free look either. Only happens in cockpit view (works fine in external view).

MSFS2024 is so frustrating at times as I've not changed any settings. Any suggestions?

Sorry to pop this back up, but can anyone help?

I had this happen.  There is a “home cockpit” setting that needs to be turned off.  I can’t recall where it is in the  menus and don’t have access to my computer, but it got turned on in my setup on its own.  Maybe after an update.  The setting keeps the view from changing with mouse clicks.

Hey mate, how's it going? How did you sort it out? I'm having the same problem.
