Could someone describe the difference between these two, if any?

When would you use one versus the other?

confused

EDIT: I have been flying 2-seaters almost exclusively if that make any difference but that will change as time goes by.

If I am understanding your question both "views" are essentially the same (both from the cockpit) but the "Go to pilot seat view" is a different FOV so it is "zoomed" on whatever gunsight that plane has.

Isn't go to pilot seat the command you use if you are returning from another position, like gunner, or another view like bombsite?

No. In my set-up (Stock) it is the F6 key and takes you to the gunsight.

F6 is a toggle between gunsight and pilot view.

Well yes to be more exact.

One key "C" takes you back to the pilot seat and in the pilot view that you had set previously - when you are in other views.

If you press F6 to return from another view it will usually toggle onto the next F6 view rather than return you to where you were.
