I know that this has been discussed as early as the MSFS 2020 Alpha version, since I was part of that discussion. I was sad to see the 6DOF methods go in MSFS, but the native events never worked either in the last four years.
But.
The MSFS SDK still lists Camera/View Events, even some new ones (like AXIS_PAN_HEADING) - but nothing has changed, none of them work when called via SimConnect.
In another thread there was talk about this being a documentation oversight, and that they shouldn’t be there at all. But if that is true, why add new ones - that also don’t work?
Am I missing something? How do we operate these Events, especially the AXIS ones? Are they really inoperable or do we just need to set a specific camera mode or index them somehow?

I reported this back in 2023:
It is now more than 3 years since MSFS 2020 was released, but still info about Camera API from MS/ASOBO. It seems like everyone asking for Camera API have given up on MS/ASOBO.
Not even taking the time to update the misleading Camera API info in the SDK documetation just shows MS/ASOBOs lack of customer support.
All MS/ASOBO resouces are probably all working with the new MSFS2024 game features and do not have time for fixing basic features.
Still MS/ASOBO has not even bother to respond or even disabling the misleading SDK documentation.
Instead today in a flight from Gardermoen in Norway, I had Kegurues jumping on the runway when I was made a takeoff.
This just shows their priotities in the this GAME!
