MSFS 2020 | HOW TO: Set up custom cockpit camera views in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Custom cockpit camera views make it quick and easy to access vital parts of your flight deck and its instrument panels during critical stages of flight. This short tutorial video shows you the best way to set them up and access them quickly when needed.

Thank you for not making a 56 min long video for something that simple.

That was so flippin' easy - I was expecting something far more complex - thank you!

Great idea! It didn't work out of the box, however, since the default key bindings are for normal number keys only, not the numpad (even with NumLock on). So go to "Options/Controls/Keyboard", search for name "custom" and reassign the load and save commands to (ctlr-)alt-<numpad> key, and everything works like a charm!

Great video I have been wanting to set my views up to the # pad keys what you say works for my numbers keys but not on my # pad any ideas?

Very nice and informative video, swift and to the point! And how about assigning the assigned key combos to my hatswitch?

[embecmom]

nice video.. appreciate your not technical support but did you or do you have any issues with the plane pulling right on takeoff roll or on rotate (a320).. Im finding that I have to give it constant left rudder to keep it straight, you dont seem to have that issue in your vids... are you using FS2020 sensitivity settings or controller software ?

I would like to custom the cockpit views by pressing only one button. Is it possible please!? Thanks in advance.

Doesn't seem to work... Then When I press alt+4 or 6 aircraft is pitching left and right.

Im having trouble with this on my Xbox and is it custom camera and idk I’m just lost

Once I get in a 'view' I find that the mouse can easily cause undesired screen shifting and even flipping - for example, a cockpit view of the throttle quad in the 747-8 will flip over (almost upside down) as I drag the mouse around to focus on something, frequently the view jumps to an entirely new view in the cockpit. There must be a way to stop that from happening, but I haven't found it yet. Can you help?

[halliemargaret]

i tried, every time i set the view and hit ctrl-alt 1 and then alt 1 it takes me outside and not to the view, what am I doing wrong??

[johnathandoe]

How to reset views if you messed up

[todorkapsis]

why the numbers pad keys does n t work to me? where is the setting ?

[freightdawg]

What if you want to save it to a hat switch on the joystick?
