  1. The last time I tried out MSFS 2020, panning and viewing both internal and external were a pain to do. I really wanted the same time of viewing I had with P3D. One where I was in a chase plane and able to use POV hat to look around the plane. Has this ever been fixed? There are a few things I am waiting for MSFS2020 to get fixed before I buy it again.
  2. That explains my problem I had today. I posted about it. I bought Premium but it would only try to download the lowest level. Then it would only see my C drive and not the F drive I wanted it on. Their Tech Support said it MUST go on C. Just dumb....this program is just not ready for prime time!
  3. They need to educate their Tech Support! I thought it was the dumbest thing I ever heard. BUT...what about the installers? Why does it only show my C drive and then tell me its not big enough an cannot install? It says it needs 127.9 Gig of room on my C. A few files I get , but 127.9 gig??? I only have 22 gig left.
  4. I bought MSFS2020. Paid for the Premium version. So, I set up to download it and the installer will not see anything except my C drive. I get on the phone with Support and they tell me that it MUST be installed on the C drive with the OS !!! Well, like many, I dont have room on the C drive. That is why I installed three other drives on my PC. P3D v5 loaded just fine to my E drive. XP11 loaded just fine to my D drive. BUT MSFS 2020 will NOT install to my F drive and according to MS Support, it never will because it is only meant to go on the C drive. WTF!!!!! That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard!!! I put in for a refund.
  5. Yea, thats how mine looked and it would not work without snapping back. Or for external it would simply look over the tail. Of course there were those annoying icons for instruments etc. But the best I got was a tail view. Anyway, I appreciate the help but I got the refund last night and deleted it from my drive with the exception of one file that for some reason will not allow me to delete it. Another frustration. Lets see where it goes once they patch it.
  6. It pans internal but jerky. If you pan left it goes left then snaps back to forward after about 1 second. I tried the reassigning of the camera, and validated but that never worked properly. I attached a game controller I had and it worked but not really well like it does in the other two sims. It was just sort of "Ok".
  7. What doesnt work for me is the panning views. I watched the videos and no help , in fact it looks like the same thing happens to the guy in the video. I want to be able to set AP, go external, and "ENJOY" the view of the plane and surrounding terrain. I have had people come back at me and say "Its a simulator, can you pan in real life...be a real man and fly 100 % internal like the real thing." Well, NO. I' bought the sim and will use it as I want. And Panning external is important to me. Its how I relax after a long day of working in the Operating Room at Hospitals. High stress job, and with XP11 and P3D I get to relax with a nice plane and cup of coffee. And the view is important to me! After that comes the other issues as described here. Parking brake issues, inability to have internal views that do not snap back before you can click on a thing in the cockpit. And it goes on and on with little things I could probably find a way to live with. But, add all those together and do not give me the exteranl view I want, and that is a deal killer.
  8. Tried that didnt work. And I'm not new to sims. Started with Sims after I could no longer fly ( real airplanes ) but, started simming in the Texas Instruments mono chrome days. So I'm not new to this. With a brother working for Microsoft I got every MS Flight Sim that ever came out for $10. The good ole days! But this new one is just frustrating. Its probably best to wait for them to update it and make a few changes.
  9. Yes, I am happy that I got a refund for MSFS2020 today. I am saddened that it was such a disappointment. Others on this forum already stated the same frustrations and issues I had. What really kills it for me is the external view options. They are horrible! I was told that you can "Pan" if you hook up an Xbox controller. So, now I have to add another piece of gear just to get Panning views??? And, if you check the other people on this forum that were disappointed , I have the same issues. So, my question is, will Microsoft listen to users and put out updates and fixes like the other two Sims do? Or is this it? Take it or leave it. I want to like this sim but just cant.
  10. Everything you just said! I got m refund today. I'll wait until they make it work. All the problems you described are what I had. And for me , those issues kill it. So, I'll stick to the other two Sims for now.
  11. EXACTLY! I asked for a refund and got it today. The views just killed it for me. I really want exterior views like I get from XP11 and P3D where I can use the hat switch to pan around. But no! You cant do that in this sim. And that just killed it. Not to mention all the other bugs to deal with. Maybe once the patch it or do an update. But not now.
