Changing view

[Lysander77]

In FS9 using the "W" key rotated the view from cockpit interior to outside with instruments displayed along the bottom of the frame, then the a second "W" shifted the view to the same outside view but without the instruments showing. A third "W" returned the view to the cockpit interior.
Is there an equivalent for this in FSX? FSX does show a "W" command in the menu, but clicking on the "W" produces no result (at least for me).
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Ok in SFX thaer are two View buttions "S" whitch is view Catagory so will switch between Pit, Spot, Tower and Aircraft views and View type "A" whitch in pit wiew will switch you thouge all the Pit pannels.  (will also work in all the other views for seeing diferant things)

Hope this helps

The 'W' key still works in FSX as it did in FS9, switching the 2-D panel display. It didn't/doesn't take you outside the cockpit. It switches between full 2-D panel, mini-panel (primary gauges only), and no panel.

As Buggs explains, the difference in FSX is how you get to the 2-D panel. Press 'S' until your in the 'Cockpit view:' category.
