just came across your video, and it is an absolutely fantastic help, playing with views and all sorts of cameras was always tricky for me, I can't say how much stress is saved by these quickviews, thank you!
I honestly need friends like you. Just like casually do a wing view tutorial and share it on UA-cam...oh man the blessings the universe will bring your way....awesome share. Thanks a million
I searched and searched and gave up on this. Then just by chance was reading up on another board where where someone asked for this and a person linked your video. What a find! Thanks a lot!
Very helpful and so easy! As an extra precaution, since it's a lot of work to save views in any number of planes, it's a good idea to copy the saved camera files on a jump drive or on the cloud just in case you'll ever need to reinstall the sim software on a new computer set up or if something corrupts.
For those of you who have Steam and can't find the files and looking for a solution, set up a view first with a bogus view then search for C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects\Airplanes, if the only thing you see is state, then you haven't done this and this is why make sure you set up your view first so in the file it updates with your set number then you can set up your real view instead of the one in the cockpit I hope this helps.
Hey @XP72 i have done everything but now i cant see my pilots in the cockpit i dont know if i saw them before i did all your steps . Could u please take a look at it ?
Thank You! You just solved my question about wing views. Thank you for being so thorough, it was so pleasant to hear and watch your tutorial as if you were here in person to show me how to do it. I subscribed!
I don’t have a “Translate Cockpit View Up” and “Translate Cockpit View Down” option that I can assign a key command to, just left, right, forward, and back. Which option is up and down? EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. I used comma and period for these and MSFS2020 didn’t like that and made them “Lockable” whatever that means. Changed these to Up and Down arrow and made comma and period forward and backward and all worked fine. By the way, there is a camera.cfg in the Community Folder or wherever you keep those files. Don’t modify that one as it gets written over when the FBW updates. Learned that the hard way.
Hi, thanks for a brilliant tutorial. I have set up my external views and mapped them to my number pad. I have noticed that autopilot does not work now. Is that something I have done wrong?
Great assistance and thanks very much for this! Having the ability to load aircraft without having to close down the sim will probably be a useful tip also. Just to say that you need to have set up at least one customer view before it generates the needed line with the axis to edit in the camera.cfg file - in fact in some aircraft if you don't have a customer view set then no camera.cfg file will be there at all
Hey XP, happy new year. Thanks for the tutorial. Got this sim on day of release but couldnt get used to all the keyboard functions for camera views. Kept going back to X-Plane 11 where camera view set up felt more intuative, but having followed your instructions, it all now seemless. Now i need to sort out excessive jerking when using my Thrustmaster TPR Pendular Rudder Pedals. It doesnt matter what i change in sensitivity settings, Pedals react exactly the same every time in the sim taking the joy out of the sim. They work perfectly in X-Plane 11. Keep up the good work.
I had a similar problem and fixed it recently. For the rudder controls, the default settings set the rudder up with the pedal and the stick. I went into the settings for the stick and disabled the rudder control so it was only controlled by the pedals. This fixed the glitch. Hopefully this works for you.
Nice views man but once am outside the plane i can not move very far with my d pad x box controller like you do to make that wing view in the cabin at the back window
Bro thanks a million for your great tutorial the best one i came across i was trying to customize the views in the pmdg with no luck for weeks really a torture until i came across here in your channel, Finally i i did it thanks for your great tutorialkeep the good work, by the way i subscribe to your channel, thanks again bro😍!
I dont have the microsoft flight simulator folder C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Packages inside packages there is no flight simulator folder, how do i look where it is? thank you!!!
Brotha this was an excellent tutorial. precise, and in detail with explanation. Everyone other video on youtube just rifles through the steps! Thank You for sharing and taking time to develop and post how to videos!
Hey XP, I can’t quite get my wing views set like yours. I get it in the neighborhood but the mouse movements seem to have limitations for fine tuning the position exactly where I want it. I was wondering if you would share your camera coordinate position in the camera file for wing views on the A320? Thanks for your time!!!!
I’ve ran into the same issue myself when setting up the wing views. I played around with it until it worked somehow. Message me on discord and I’ll send you the camera config file.
XP, first of all, this was a great video. Very, very helpful and I've used your technique on a number of aircraft. The only one that gave me a problem was the Asobo 787. Here's the issue: I can save all of the custom views and when I load the plane, they all work great. Here's the problem: If I save ANY custom views, doing so completely fouls up my autopilot LNAV functionality. As soon as I activate LNAV, my bank angle becomes close to 90% and I fly in circles. For the life of me, I can't figure out the connection between the two. I've retested this 3 times. If I delete the config file altogether, LNAV works fine. If I save even one custom view, I lose control over LNAV. In fact, in one flight, I engaged LNAV without any configured custom views. Worked great. Then, I save just one custom view and the LNAV went haywire. Any suggestions? It's the only Asobo airliner where I have had this problem. However, I have not flight tested all of the airliners yet. It works fine with the A320 Neo and the 747. IDK about the CRJ's. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Thanks man. A few things maybe come to mind. Make sure it’s the correct camera config file. Make sure that the key binds for the camera are not also for the autopilot. Hopefully this helps.
@@XP72official I'll take a look at the keys binds. I'm virtually certain that I'm using the correct camera config file. Is in the same folder nesting as the other aircraft. Thanks for replying so quickly.
Thanks man, it was so helpful, i saved all my views by cntrl alt number and load them by alt number, it was too much, i didnt know we could just change them and load them by just number pad, appreciate it.
I did this and escape , arrow keys , my saved cockpit views are gone . i did change the camera section to 5 , then changed back to zero to see if it would work again . but didn't. I messed up somewhere.
Hello Captain, sorry to bother you, but there is something that I can't do and that is moving the camera forward. When I am outside the the plane, I can use the arrow keys to move left-right/up-down, and then I can move front and back with the wheel mouse (zoom). I can move from outside to inside the plane using the arrow keys but once inside I cant move forward or back. Can you help me? What I am not doing right?
Hi Man, I might need your help.. I was setting my crj wingviews just as you described in video and in developer mode when you go to aircraft selector I got the one I was in cause as you said in video it's high lighted in yellow but for crj it made my plane completely disappear & after I got that sorted out I must of hit or done something else developer mode cause ever since I cannot get my thrust reversers to work on my PMDG 737's i don't know what I could of done or hit to cause them to not work right anymore.. They worked fine when I originally put MSFS on but haven't worked since. I selected something or did something first of all to get the crj to disappear and then once I finally got CRJ back working is when I've started having issues with my 737 thrust reversers not operating correctly.. I have the logitech 3D Pro Joystick. No Rudder pedals or no other hardware. Just the joystick... Could you possibly help please. If you know more then me about MSFS..
Stupid question but how are you going from the front of the cabin to the back of the cabin and looking out the window. I use the scroll wheel and it goes back but stops at a certain point, won't go past that and I need to go to the back of the aircraft to look out and see the flaps on the wings. Thanks
I am not sure what 3 people saw in this video to vote a thumbs down. I have been looking for this exact tutorial since the day this sim released. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and show us how this is done. It is much appreciated!
Thank you for a great video. Helped out a great deal. My problem is finding the correct command for moving around outside or inside as you do. You have mentioned a few times about you have programmed your , and . but to what command? Is it Slew something or Translate something? When I use the mouse it only moves so far backwards or forwards. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. I have done 1 to 6 but I just cant get to the back of the plane.
I have X-Plane and it has keyboard keys setup to move around and also save views. I just mimicked those keys on MSFS by reprogramming all the keys to do the same as X-Plane.
But are those settings "set" only for your Delta one or do they apply to all liveries you have? Also can those be set as default for all planes or do you need to do it in each plane?
Hey XP, I can’t seem to get my starting camera (cockpit reset position) to go back to being in the cockpit (regular) spot, It keeps putting me outside the aircraft like we did, I just can’t get it back to normal :/
Great videos ... but i have changed ther xyz value many times and no matter what i put in it still starts me off in my cockpit view. and yes i have saved the file. so i am not sure if this is just out of date or if there is a new way to do this but i can not get out of cockpit view to do this.
What’s up bridgen?!?! Hey CPT, that green FPS counter in the corner for MSFS20. How can I get that plug in? What’s it called? Thnx my man! Take care. 🙏🏻✈️
Well did that and yes there is views but how when I look at a wing view the plane turns that way . Same in flight if I hit right wing view number 5 on key pad I see the view but the plane turns that way to why is that ?
Hey there! I followed the steps as best as I can but when I open the file for the specific aircraft I want, it doesn’t have the camera cfg file but instead a “state.CFG”
Hey there. I could not find the Microsoft Flight simulator file under Packages on my C: drive for some reason. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
I can't look around inside the plane the camera doesn't move around please I need help tell me what to do I think the problem is on the camera settings but I try everything it doesn't work..
@@gmarc1390 You can use the mouse to move your eye view and then the arrow keys to move up, down, left and right. Took me a few goes but I got it in the end.
Great video, now is there a way to get it to work on other planes too? Like the other default jets? I dont see a camera.cfg file when checking the same location on other planes with that location
I have a question. After I followed your steps to setup the custom views on the A320, everytime I switch to one of the presets, the plane disconnects the autopilot and starts turning in that direction. If I'm not careful the plane will start turning in circles in the direction of my view. It's not until I get back in the cockpit view that the AP reconnects and continues following the flightplan. Any ideas why or how to fix this?
Where else could i find the camera config file? for me inside the airplane folder is only something called "state" but the file before the planes which is just before you click SimObjects, there is a file there called cameras.cfg , however it doesnt have the line that says "initialxyz" so there is no number to change :(
Doesn't put me outside the cockpit. I've tried everything and even copied all the settings/numbers from your file. Maybe it's because I don't have a numpad? My camera aren't labeled "0" like yours. It's labeled "Pilot"
I have this folder: Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_VL3 In the Airplanes folder, the Asobe_VL3 is the only folder. The cameras.cfg seems to contain info for one camera: [VERSION] major=1 minor=0 [CAMERADEFINITION.0] Title="2" (truncated) I changed the last two lines to: InitialXyz= -5, 0.018, -0.7 InitialPbh= -9.885004, -0.146372, -46.647034 (I added the 5) I'm sure I'm doing something wrong somewhere. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot man, you're awesome! I have one problem though - so it takes me outside the plane and I hold down (right shift and up arrow) to move forward in the direction I'm facing, before then clicking right Ctrl and no. To save Like you say. However, as soon as I let go of shift - the camera flicks back to cockpit and I have to try and get back to where I was with the shift and up to save it... Any ideas?
I change the keys to move around the plane and cockpit to the , . and up and down arrow keys. I don’t upset the shift at all. Reprogram your keys to the way I have them.
Hey @XP72 ! Can we add more combinations of views apart from the basic NUM 1-9? Like Shift+NUM1 and so on? Or are we just limited to those 9 views which we can save and load from settings? Appreciate the video, loved it ; )
Greetings cap, just running into your vid here which I find really helpful and nice, I just have a doubt which I don’t know if you could answer but is worth a shot, I’m flying on a console only and can’t access the sim folders like that, is it going to be an issue to get outside the plane? Good night💯
@@XP72official dang it! Lol I thought so, but well I already set up some good quick views inside the cockpit. Do you recommend I try set them up using the outside camera perhaps?
@@XP72official I have located the Asobo A320 Neo folder using the same method as instructed and there is no camera config file there. The only file in there is the state.cfg file. Any suggestions?
@@XP72official Yes, I did. After exiting trying to find the config file, now the sim keeps crashing. And I made sure not to touch anything else accidentally. Perhaps something was corrupted.

Make sure you save a custom view first then change the value on that custom view.
This is the best custom wing views tutorial I've seen. Great video!!
I know this is old, but I can't thank you enough for this tutorial. I use it every day and couldn't imagine not having this setup. Many, many thanks!

YESSSS!! Finally a good tutorial! Thank you very much Captain! Have a good day
@XP72 , Hey Captain how do you actually move around the aircraft what keys ? for example here @10:38
You have to set the keyboard keys in the "cockpit view" to move back and forth, up and down and left and right.
@@XP72official thank you , ok I will do this asap

Camera initial camera position will change anyway when you set that view in the sim.
Well did that and yes there is views but how when I look at a wing view the plane turns that way . Same in flight if I hit right wing view number 5 on key pad I see the view but the plane turns that way to why is that ?

I can't look around inside the plane the camera doesn't move around please I need help tell me what to do I think the problem is on the camera settings but I try everything it doesn't work..
You have to follow all the setup instructions from the video including my settings for the cockpit camera that I showed.
Grea vid but I'm having trouble moving around once I'm outside. The 4 arrow keys only move me up, down and side to side, how do I move forward?
You have to assign keys to do that.
@@XP72official Yeah I thought so, I assumed I was doing something wrong. Thanks again for your patience making the vid, XP, brilliantly done 🤙
which option do you need to assign to be able to move the camera around
@@gmarc1390 You can use the mouse to move your eye view and then the arrow keys to move up, down, left and right. Took me a few goes but I got it in the end.
Great video, now is there a way to get it to work on other planes too? Like the other default jets? I dont see a camera.cfg file when checking the same location on other planes with that location
I have it working on the 320, 787 and 747. Just have to look for those plane folders.
@@XP72official I have it working now, I had a first set up a custom internal view then the config file showed up
GREAT VIDEO You should do a A landing competition!!
I have a question. After I followed your steps to setup the custom views on the A320, everytime I switch to one of the presets, the plane disconnects the autopilot and starts turning in that direction. If I'm not careful the plane will start turning in circles in the direction of my view. It's not until I get back in the cockpit view that the AP reconnects and continues following the flightplan. Any ideas why or how to fix this?
You have the number key also assigned to the autopilot. Delete everything the num keys are assigned to except your views.
Where else could i find the camera config file? for me inside the airplane folder is only something called "state" but the file before the planes which is just before you click SimObjects, there is a file there called cameras.cfg , however it doesnt have the line that says "initialxyz" so there is no number to change :(
If you have Steam it’s gonna be elsewhere.
@@XP72official i bought msfs2020 on the microsoft store, i do have steam in general tho
Good tutorial!!! I somehow cant figure out how to move/navigate. I am just able to zoom and turn. Can someone help me out?
Doesn't put me outside the cockpit. I've tried everything and even copied all the settings/numbers from your file. Maybe it's because I don't have a numpad? My camera aren't labeled "0" like yours. It's labeled "Pilot"
I even imported CptCanadas .cfg file and it still doesn't put me outside.
You might be looking at the wrong configuration file.
@@XP72official I'm not, it's the same exact one as yours.
Hmmmmmm, strange.
@@XP72official Any other ideas? I'm really at a loss. Wanted some nice views.
Great video! My complements to you on your style of delivery and instruction. This one is saved as a favorite. Thanks
Glad it helped you. Thanks.
XP Very informative well done. Now I will have take the time to do this. One question though how do I get different liveries for my aircraft?
Google “mega livery pack” for MSFS
XP by chance in your cockpit view Capt what is the zoom%.
I think 50%
Not working for me, i did not get kickad out of the Windows :(
same
I have this folder: Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_VL3
In the Airplanes folder, the Asobe_VL3 is the only folder. The cameras.cfg seems to contain info for one camera:
[VERSION]
major=1
minor=0
[CAMERADEFINITION.0]
Title="2"
(truncated)
I changed the last two lines to:
InitialXyz= -5, 0.018, -0.7
InitialPbh= -9.885004, -0.146372, -46.647034
(I added the 5)
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong somewhere. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot man, you're awesome! I have one problem though - so it takes me outside the plane and I hold down (right shift and up arrow) to move forward in the direction I'm facing, before then clicking right Ctrl and no. To save Like you say. However, as soon as I let go of shift - the camera flicks back to cockpit and I have to try and get back to where I was with the shift and up to save it... Any ideas?
I change the keys to move around the plane and cockpit to the , . and up and down arrow keys. I don’t upset the shift at all. Reprogram your keys to the way I have them.
Just what I have been looking to set up, thanks for the tutorial I will set this up tonight 👍
Great Video. Did you rename your default keyboard, or is that a new profile? Thanks.
I deleted it altogether.
Hey @XP72 ! Can we add more combinations of views apart from the basic NUM 1-9? Like Shift+NUM1 and so on? Or are we just limited to those 9 views which we can save and load from settings? Appreciate the video, loved it ; )
Great question. The answer is I really don’t know, but you can try it and let me know. Thanks man.
Greetings cap, just running into your vid here which I find really helpful and nice, I just have a doubt which I don’t know if you could answer but is worth a shot, I’m flying on a console only and can’t access the sim folders like that, is it going to be an issue to get outside the plane? Good night💯
Unfortunately yes
@@XP72official dang it! Lol I thought so, but well I already set up some good quick views inside the cockpit. Do you recommend I try set them up using the outside camera perhaps?
When all is done do you go back and change the camera config file back to the original value?
No, when you set your views it always changes the values anyway.
@@XP72official cool thank you Sir!
I wish there was a way to disable that transition effect when switching between custom cameras. That effect is causing motion sickness on me.
If there is a official msfs update to the programme will it overwrite the camera setings?
It didn’t overwrite mine in the last update. You never know in the future though.
@@XP72official ok thanks
Hello! I don’t have a camera config file in my Asobo A320 Neo folder. What do I do? Thank you.
Double check the steps to get to the right file.
@@XP72official I have located the Asobo A320 Neo folder using the same method as instructed and there is no camera config file there. The only file in there is the state.cfg file. Any suggestions?
Did you setup and save a view in the cockpit first?
@@XP72official Yes, I did. After exiting trying to find the config file, now the sim keeps crashing. And I made sure not to touch anything else accidentally. Perhaps something was corrupted.
That’s strange. Did you buy from Steam.
