There are several different cameras that players can use in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and the Drone Camera is the one that offers the most flexibility. This makes the Drone Camera a great option for setting up some beautiful Flight Simulator screenshots, giving fans full control of the camera’s position, zoom, and much more, and fortunately it can be accessed with the press of a single button.
More specifically, to use the Drone Camera in Microsoft Flight Simulator players must simply press the “Insert” key on their keyboards. Typically this key is located above the arrow keys, and fans can use the following keybinds to control the Drone once it has been activated:
- Toggle Depth of Field: F1
- Toggle Foreground Blur: F5
- Drone Top Down View: Ctrl + Space
- Attach Drone to Next Target: Ctrl + Page Up
- Attach Drone to Previous Target: Ctrl + Page Down
- Toggle Drone Auto Exposure: Ctrl + F4
- Toggle Drone Auto Focus: F4
- Decrease Drone Rotation Speed: F3
- Decrease Drone Translation Speed: F1

- Increase Drone Translation Speed: F2
- Lock Drone to Next Target: t
- Lock Drone to Previous Target: Shift + t

To note, there is an alternative option for activating the Drone Camera in this new flight simulator from developer Asobo Studio, and that is by selecting “Camera” from the toolbar at the top of the screen and then selecting the “Showcase” tab. Not only will this allow fans to use the Drone Camera, it will also give them a visual representation of many of the features indicated above. For examples, Flight Simulator players can use a slider to set the Drone Focus from within this menu, which some may prefer to using the keybinds.
It is also important to mention that while controlling the Drone Camera players will not have control of their planes. This means that it is typically best to control the Drone when an aircraft is stationary or after a fan has activated autopilot or Active Pause in Microsoft Flight Simulator, as these options will help players avoid disaster while they setup their perfect screenshots.
That said, it is actually possible to take control of a plane while the Drone Camera is active, and that is done by pressing the “c” key on the keyboard. Indeed, this will allow fans to maintain the Drone settings that they have established while also flying their planes in Microsoft Flight Simulator, though toggling Drone Follow Mode to “On” is basically requisite for this to be functional for any prolonged period. If this is not done, a plane will eventually move out of the Drone’s view, making it quite difficult to safely reach a final destination in Flight Simulator.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is out now for PC, with an Xbox One version in development.
