re-setting flight controls

[taffy2jeffmorgan]

Hi All, I am resetting all my flight controls [ joystick/keyboard] so far so good, but I have hit a problem !  I have selected plane external and flyby views, but now I cant get back to cockpit internal view. and cant seem to find the appropriate option amongst all the views

 

Could someone please advise the default.

 

Cheers

F1 is he default

 

Is under View category

Thanks for that, I have my joystick hat switch 0 degree position selected at the moment for that view, I will have to clear that and try again

 

Cheers

The problem still persists ,   when I start the sim I am in the cockpit but as soon as I select either outside and flyby view I cant get back into the cockpit and pressing F1 makes no difference, I wonder if some key option I have selected my be in conflict with another that has been selected ?

You could try with Ctrl+F1 (this allows you to take control of the plane you are looking at as long as it is flyable and you allow it within the realism settings) it is in the same "View" category at the bottom

What command and key you are using for have external view?

 

Looks like that you are using the command that transfer the the plane control for AI - that is not autopilot, leaving you as mere expectador.

Hello Taffy

 

The likely reason you are getting this result is due to a conflict from another active program.

 

Do you have another other programs active at the same time as the game is running which could have commands using the same key as the view position in CLIFFS?

Does your joystick have programmable software which is active when you are running the game?

 

Check your Task Manager to see what is running and which has commands which could possibly conflict.  Shut those programs off and try again.

Thanks Buzzsaw, I shall check this out, but first I am going to start from scratch, uninstall the whole game and start again with what you have mentioned in mind.

Hello Taffy

 

I would recommend you carefully read through the 'Getting Started and Troubleshooting Guide' first.

 

It is located in Steamapps, in 'manuals' inside the main CLIFFS OF DOVER install folder.
