    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.

Stuck in the passenger cabin

During a flight in the ATR-72 600 I decided to take a stroll through the passenger cabin to check out what it looks like and see if there were any fans of gladiator movies.

In maneuvering the camera to get a view of the engines I somehow managed to set the default view to the passenger cabin.

Searching for a reset keyboard function I found "Shift-F10" "vfr pilot view reset" which just resets the view to the one I am trying to get rid of, and "CTR F10" " vfr pilot view save"which did eventually move the view but when I press it, the view jumps a bit and I end up with a cockpit view saved that is off center, seemingly at a random direction after each save.

I uninstalled/reinstalled the aircraft but the view remains at the saved view.
All I want to do is get the view back the original view point the aircraft shipped with.
can anyone recommend a way to accomplish that?
Thanks JB
 
Maybe try "Reset Cockpit View" (CTRL + SPACE on my rig). I've never had the issue that you're describing, but when I go for walks, that's how I get back.

I agree with Brian. I have a button on my joystick assigned to that.

The problem is that I somehow reset the default view so CTRL + space just resets it to the incorrect view.
I know it is strange and only I could manage to do something so bizarre.

As I mentioned, I have managed to set it back in the cockpit but it insists on being off center for some reason and not where it is located when I press save view

I am wondering if there is a file that gets saved somewhere with the changes made that I could delete so it gets reset to default.
MSFS has such a scattered file locations I wouldn't know where to begin looking
