In FSX-Accel, I have the same problem.
(there seem to be some subtill deviations between camera positioning in FSX and P3D)
Solution:
You can make a small change in the aircraft.cfg to solve that.
Find line
InitialPbh=-40.0, 0, 0
in section
[CameraDefinition.6]
And change -40.0 into -57.0.
Which will pitch up the camera view a bit more, so you'll see the switches.
