Bug description:
I’m trying to externally be able to reset the cockpit camera to the default view (same as when you press Shift+Space), but none of the SimConnect events or momentary boolean variable seem to work.
I’ve tried sending the following events:
- PAN_RESET
- EYEPOINT_RESET
- PAN_RESET_COCKPIT
As well as setting this momentary boolean variable:
- CAMERA ACTION COCKPIT VIEW RESET
I can see CAMERA ACTION COCKPIT VIEW RESET instantly resetting to zero, but the cockpit view doesn’t reset.
For contrast, COCKPIT CAMERA UPPER POSITION works fine with the same methodology, where it being set to 1 moves the camera to the upper position, and vice-versa for 0.
My workaround for now is to have that external method send the “LeftShift+Space” keyboard press (which does work), but that depends on user controls binding, and is of course unreliable because of that.
