== Installation Instructions ==:

Depending on your version of MSFS 2020, follow the relevant path:

Microsoft Store:
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes

Steam:
C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects\Airplanes

Before doing anything else, make a backup of the PMDG 737-800, PMDG 737-800BBJ2, PMDG 737-800BCF and PMDG 737-800BDSF folders as to not lose your own custom views.

Simply copy the relevant folders for the custom views you wish to use from the download file, into the Airplanes directory.

Please do not copy and paste these files into your Community folder, as you will instead get a view of the cargo hold, which is incorrect!

Launch MSFS 2020 and test out the views for your relevant airframe(s).

Feel free to adjust/change the views as needed!

Feedback and suggestions welcome! Enjoy!

Attention Everyone encountering issues:

If you are getting a view of the cargo hold after installing this, you are pasting the cameras.cfg in the wrong folder! This does not belong in your community folder.

Please follow these paths depending on your version of MSFS 2020:

Microsoft Store:

C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes

Steam:

C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects\Airplanes

I hope this solves your issue!

Is it possible to move the "reset cockpit view" back a bit so that the landing gear handles can be operated would be very useful to me, would be very grateful if you could change it.

Didn't work for me. When I went to the folder located at:

C:\Users\Col\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800. if I went up a folder level to your actual specified folder (minus the PMDG 737-800 folder appended to end) all my aircraft are listed in folders but, none of them have camera.cfg in there.

There was only a state.cfg file in the PMDG folder. No mention of camera.cfg. I pasted the folders from your zip in there and nothing. I then took the camera.cfg from your standard 737 800 and dropped it in the folder directly where state.cfg was located and rebooted the sim but still nothing. Any ideas?

the cameras.cfg should go in the same folder as state.cfg

Basically when you the path, you should have folders for multiple planes. There should be 4 PMDG folders if you only have the 800, which are:

PMDG 737-800PMDG 737-800BBJ2PMDG 737-800BCFPMDG 737-800BDSF

if you've loaded each plane at least once, there should be a state.cfg file generated by PMDG. And when you set custom views, it generates a cameras.cfg file.

My download file should have the 4 folders labeled for each variant as they have slightly different views outside of cockpit. Just drop each one into its corresponding folder.

After that I'm not sure why you're still not getting the views, what you could try is setting a custom view yourself to see if it generates a cameras.cfg file in there, and then overwrite it with my file.

Thanks for response. I will give it another go and let you know how it goes.

This is working great for me and I use these views constantly. Wondering if you'd be willing to set up a few more custom views for the 600/700/800? I think it'd be handy to have a view with the pilot fully zoomed back in the seat (to see as much of the flight systems as possible) and maybe a view from the side of the landing gear for approaches and finally a view just slightly right of the throttle to clearly see the flaps position. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your feedback!

I do have custom views for the 737-700 which you can find here:

https://flightsim.to/file/38778/custom-camera-views-for-pmdg-737-700-bbj-bdsf

I sadly don't own the 600 yet but will be picking it up soon to complete my PMDG collection, so once I have it you can expect views for it too :).

Eventually when the 900 comes out I might get it and make views for that too.

I'll take your suggestions on new views on board, I'm eagerly waiting for PMDG to release their EFB Tablet so that I can set a view for that, and I will have a look at maybe redoing my views, changing out old ones for new ones, we shall see :)

These views work excellently when installed properly. Thanks so much for the work you put into this!
