I'm trying to assign a keyboard shortcut to first-person view. I do this by having a mouse button which emits the key. This works when FSRealistic is the active window. However, if I switch to MSFS, the shortcut is ignored. I tried several different keys, and the the keyboard configuration in MSFS does not have this binding.

I have my default cockpit camera height set to 66% (which gives a slight view over the cowling - based on how I sit IRL). I have a joystick button (HAT push) mapped to "reset camera" keyboard event (Ctrl+Space or F) together with TrackIR reset. Without FSRealistic active, this works as expected. The view gets recentered to the appropriate height. However, when FSRealistic is active, the view gets reset to a lower position (looks like the default 50%). Several attempts at resetting the camera may occasionally get me to the right view height, but it seems like there's some race condition or conflict between MSFS and FSRealistic moving the camera.

What are the units for the camera zoom and height settings? Is this relative to the MSFS configured zoom (where 50 = the same as)? And, is this for the in-cockpit camera or for first person, or both?

Any chance there could be a key bind to stop all camera movement (while held)? This would be useful when fiddling with switches/knobs which are challenging in turbulence.
