    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Cockpit / External View

When I flew in FSX I had a button programed on my CH Yoke that would allow me to go from the cockpit view to an external view and back, once outside I could perform a walkaround using the "hat button" on the said A/C. With MSFS 2020, jumping on the mouse and clicking the top of the screen to the camera mode icon just isn't getting the job done, is my FSX setup possible in the new Sim ? Have tried to follow the many YouTube tutorials on the subject but I'm not having much success. Presently using the Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke and Throttle Quadrant in the default mode with no issues.
 
If I understand the key you are looking for, the one I use is:

Control Options -> Camera -> Camera Mode Switches -> Cockpit/External View Mode

By default, it's assigned to the "End" key on your keyboard, but you can assign to any key or switch on your controller.

Hope that helps.
