Hi, this is driving me mental. I cant ad to this screenshot thread until the method is found.
In all the years of flight simming I have never spent 1.5 days trying to get to see the side of my aircraft.

F2 I cant see in the settings, does anyone know what command it is allocated to, and is that in 'game' or aircraft' or 'camera' etc ?

I must have re-allocated that to another key. The only key I allocated anything to was on my joystick, and that key removed the inst panel so I see just some instruments around my view, hit it again and they vanish, again and entire cockpit reappears. so I reckon F2 did that, but thats not of use here, I need to see my aircraft.

Can I check, does F2 for you guys show you your aircraft, or just remove the instrument panel. I reckon F2 default simply removed the panel, on mine anyway.

To get back the default settings I couldnt see an option for that, so I uninstalled via steam. Looked at steam folder and still saw the CoD folder...and in that were config.ini and other stuff.

Not impressed by steams idea of uninstall, I deleted that folder and also emptied my trashbin.

Reinstall CoD from steam, 40 mins of download later.

run it and it still has held onto my throttle allocation, so how did it manage to remember that ?

I need to get back the default settings.

At the moment I can only pan around my aircraft along a circle which is vertical based on aircraft centreline. gives me uside plan view, topside plan view, tail and nose views etc.

They should have had it one button goes external (F8 would seem to be that button) and mouse then moves view around aircraft as if in a CAD program.
I have to hit F10 to get mouse to operate in the external view, thats fair enough I guess, but panning around the aircraft then doesnt happen.

Anyone care to do a step by step on how they exit aircraft and view its side, what the wording is for each button they use and in what menu list it is.

That would solve this.

Continu0<<You should be able to switch to outside view by F2. But ths has to be allowed by the realism settings...>>
I have my sim set to default realism, are you saying I need to make it 'realistic' flight model to get F2 to work ?
