In FS2020, I could land somewhere, then pick up my xbox controller and hit the big central X key (easy to find by feel in VR), and it would take me to the camera drone view.  I could then fly the drone around with the exact same control stick movements as my DJI Mavik.  It was fantastic, and fairly easy to set up.  In FS24 not so much.  People keep referring to a command TOGGLE DRONE.... but for the life of me I cannot find it.  Also, there is some kind of preset applied to that button, because whenever I press it, the screen darkens, and a row of icons show up at the bottom.  Were is this mythical TOGGLE DRONE command?  How can I clear out whatever is defaulting to the 'Big X ' button (or whatever it is called).  Seriously I have spent hours trying to find how to set this up, and the user interface is way more of a hindrance than a help.  I DID find Toggle Drone Lock, and assigned that to a key.  It had no apparent effect when  I pressed it.  

ADVthanksANCE to any and all that chime in here!  Cheers

In MSFS2024, you can get to DRONE View by the "TOGGLE DRONE" command which is in [Settings -> Controls]. There, choose one of the Controllers (Xbox, Keyboard, or your Flight Controller) on LHS, and type "Drone" in the Search Box. The assignment will be found in the very last line of the group (so, in my case).

I see that on my Keyboard, the "TOGGLE DRONE" (default) command is "Shift +X". For my Xbox Controller, the assignment is now blank, so, I could define it to "X" and save the configuration.

You can also define an assignment on your own Flight Controller, if you like.

I just use the default "Shift + X" command on the Keyboard for DRONE view, but I checked that the Xbox Controller "X" button works too, after I defined it. I use the Xbox Controller only for Camera Views and Screenshots, but you can make it more powerful if you like. Some folks do.

Below are 2 images; the first is the default MSFS2024 Cockpit View and the 2nd is the (external) Drone View, accessed/toggled by either "Shift + X" on the Keyboard or "X" on the Xbox Controller, in my case.

Good luck.

I use Xbox controller with the Spotty26 app and get Flyby-Chase-World-Tower/Spotter cameras in addition.
