How can I slew the camera around in showcase view...


Recommended Posts

With a few simple keystrokes? I've researched the MSFS camera online, I'm overwhelmed by all the commands, and frankly, I don't want to learn all that stuff; I just want to fly. But I like to share screenshots taken in showcase view. Unfortunately, when I open showcase view, the camera will at times be pointed in the opposite direction of whatever I want to show. For example, say I'm flying over (or alongside) the Matterhorn, off my right wing. I open showcase, and instead pointing at the left side of the plane with the Matterhorn in the background, the camera's pointed at the plane's right side. What keyboard keys can I use to move the camera around to the left side of the plane and the view I want to share?

I bought an Xbox controller and one of the josticks is used for viewing. It's excellent.

Thought the OP was talking about the drone. The keyboard commands are very simple and easy to use when flying the drone. I spend a LOT of my time using it :)
