PAN View setup problems

[danewatson]

FSUIPC 7 version 4 Nov. 2020

I am not able to get the Hat button on my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro to be setup under Buttons.  I first tried to assign to Pan View but did not work.  Then  tried individual positions and they did not work.  Before doing all of this I removed the setups from the MSFS Control menu.

Also tried to setup under Axes but that also did not work.

I'm afraid most of the view controls are not currently exported as SimConnect events. It's the subject of long-standing requests to MS/Asobo. 

I think currently the only way to control views is to assign to key presses instead. I have the same annoyance with my VFR cockpit hardware which needs proper solving because it isn't recognised by MSFS as a device and so has to be configured in FSUIPC.

Limitations
===========
Currently no documentation on what key events/controls from the SimConnect API are actually working.
Many do not currently work. These include:
   - events for view control
   - events for slew control
   - events for weather

For view and slew control, you can assign in MSFS or assign in FSUIPC7 but to the default key assignments
used for view/slew control in MSFS.
