I have managed to create a new profile for my joystick and assigned buttons to my preferences.

However I can't work out how to assign one button which will act as a toggle between external camera view and cockpit (pilot) camera view.

I was able to do this in 2020.

There are so many 'actions' to choose from but I can't find ones which will do as I want. I notice that under cameras there are subsections for cockpit and external.

Can anyone advise which action to assign as all the ones I have tried don't work. I assumed that I need to assign 'toggle cockpit pilot' and 'toggle external' but it won't work

Thanks

Jarnie, I use these commands, all caps is deliberate.

COCKPIT/EXTERNAL VIEW MODE.

I have this assigned to the keyboard End key. So one press and you’ll be outside, another press and you’ll be inside. I have all the controls stuff all figured out. If you need more help I can walk you through it.

Thanks,

I would never have thought to look in the COCKPIT section HOWEVER when I looked I could not find EXTERNAL VIEW MODE.

Would you explain please and/or a screen shot.

Also is there a method to 'deassign' and incorrecty assigned action?

Thanks

Jack beat me to it (Hi Jack!!) ...

For my TM HOTAS Warthog Stick, I also have:
TOGGLE DRONE set to the Hat UP switch (Hat DOWN is set to COCKPIT/EXTERNAL VIEW MODE)

The pinkie/lever/thingie I have mapped to every view reset function I could find, so I can easily reset my camera in any mode when I get confused (!).

Yes - click on the little cog icon, then look for "Delete assigned control" but (IMPORTANT) make sure you also select PRIMARY or SECONDARY in the top line first. It's easy to delete the wrong one.

Thanks Adam?

All I need now is to find COCKPIT/EXTERNAL VIEW MODE

Look for that complete name (ie. not "COCKPIT" or "EXTERNAL VIEW MODE").

Thanks. Intuition didn't work for me here.

BTW how do I backup these profiles as well as camera views I create inside the cockpit for different view of the instruments (using say the numpad) or are they preserved and not overwritten by updates and/or the possibility of having to reinstall?

Hooley Dooley 2024 has a function to export/import individual profiles. Yippee

That is a smart idea! May have to borrow that one from you 😉
