I'm sorry, I have no idea what you are asking or what your problem is.  Are you saying the keypad wont work for your cockpit views?

Maybe its the Num Lock?
21 is only half the truth.

Yes my key pad views dont work so I can only look forward. when I hit say #4 to look left it only moves me a hair forward for a second. This goes for all numbers on the viewing pad. really sucks

Well, the first step is the most simple one.  As Schatzi said, check to make sure your Num Lock key is on.  If its not, the keypad wont work.  

Beyond that, have you looked at your Aces High keymap to make sure the views are mapped?  If not, start Aces High, log in, and click Options on the clipboard.  Click on Controls, and then Keymap.  Find the Views and click on it, and see what keys are mapped to those views.  If they are not mapped, there should be a button to set the keys to default.

thanks for the tips but its not that easy. I have done all the most common sense things and I can tell you that it is the game not me. My keypad does do something when I hit a number but just moves me a little forward for a second. This means my keypad is working with the game and my keys a mapped but still no viewing. How would I go about cancelling my subscription since I hate to waste money on garbage.

believe it or not.....go into options...views (I think)....any way...make sure that your box beside (Start in mouse view)   is UNchecked.

mouse panning (shift-M) also causes this same problem.......

Let me know if that's it.

Ummm...........

Did you look at the keymap to make sure the views are mapped to the right keys?

I'm sorry you are having problems, but just because it doesnt work right for you right off the bat is no need to go attacking people or the game.  If you truly want to cancel, try the "Contact Us" link in the Support menu above.

Alright ridely1 you saved me from jumping of a bridge without aces high. I tryed so much but nothing would work but it seems to be good now. When you want to play aces high and you cant it can cause mantal problems and the shackes.

Had to set up my mouse axis's, but I was kind of expecting I would have to.
