Background: As a Mac LongEz pilot with the small Mac keyboard that lacks a num-key-pad, I have struggled for a while not knowing how to save and access custom set views. To see the trim, speed-brake, DG, and fuel gauges on the VSKYLABS LongEZ, I need a look down some view that is quick and repeatable.
Work-Around:
1) Start X-Plane, New Flight in desired aircraft
2) Open Settings to the Joystick Configuration
3) Program a button for a 3D saved view
e.g. Program "LittleFinger+DefaultView(Nav/Dogfight)" button to "Go to save 3-D cockpit location #10."
4) Temporarily program a button to "Memorize a 3-D cockpit location #10"
5) Click Settings:Done
6) Use top-hat to look to desired location (down enough to see trims, speed-brake, DG, and fuel guages)
7) Click the temporary "Memorize" button
8) Click default view
9) Check saved view: Click the button for the saved view (e.g. LittleFinger+DefaultView)
10) Repeat steps 2 and 4 to unset the temporary save view button if desired.
I fly with FOV at 75 in a 1920x1080 window. Here is my saved view:
