I'm having some problems with the Carenado C337 Skymaster, several buttons are located behind the yoke and when standing on the ground, I can turn the yoke to the side to reach them, but when flying I cant just jam the yoke aside. And also its very unpractical to move the joystick with my left hand to be able to move the mouse over with the right.
I tried to reach them in another camera view, but no matter how I adjust it, only half of the switches are functional, or the lightswitches to the pilot heat, or the pumps, alternator, master battery and the ignition, so this also is not an option.
What can I do to make the switches accessable with the mouse, in flight?

The glories of 2D panels!... Smiley...

..where the "Yoke" is a separate window, which can be deleted to reveal what is behind it... Smiley...!

Most of the hidden switches behind my Yokes are generally the Light Switches, which can be accessed using keyboard assignments, or assigned to my Joystick buttons,

Paul... Grin...!

Isn't there a "Camera" view which enables you to move around the cockpit to gain access to various parts?

Though I don't have the 337 to test, try mousing over the yoke tube  where it enters the panel bushing. You may find a clickable spot that will toggle the yoke hide/show.

If all else fails, maybe it's mentioned in the manual.

Edit: Found this interior review video that shows the yoke toggle at 3 min.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.          Igor Sikorsky

You know....you can just rip up a to-do list.
