XML setting for zoom

[geoffco 0]

Hi,Is there an XML command to set the zoom level of the forward view to a specifric value? I can only see the following in the FS2004 controls.dll list I have:ZOOM_1XZOOM_INZOOM_IN_FINEZOOM_MINUSZOOM_OUTZOOM_OUT_FINEZOOM_PLUSWhat I would like to do is write a small gauge that changes the zoom as I change altitude:> read altitude and write required zoom value to a variable> If altitude below a certain cutoff and zoom not default, set the default low altitude zoom> If altitude above a certain cutoff and zoom not default, set the default high altitude zoom> If altitude between the cutoff values and zoom not same as stored variable, set zoom to the stored variable...Thanks,Geoff

No. The list you have are all that's available...However, you could program a number of sequential ZOOM_IN or ZOOM_OUT events to a single operation, but you'd have to experiment to determine how many times to send the commands to achieve your targeted goal.For example (in pseudo-code):

if (current altitude => 2000 feet){ ZOOM_OUT; ZOOM_OUT; ZOOM_OUT; }

Hmmm. The problem with that is that if I was levelling off for a time at an intermediate altitude, I might end up with an odd zoom value at the end. I suppose I could have some certain altitudes at which zooming events occured and a "done" variable to tell what had happened - getting pretty complicated now though!Odd that there wasn't a ZOOM_SET variable...
