Is there anyway in FSX to independently change the outside zoom level vs. the virtualcockpit zoom. I like an outside view of 1.2 regarding what I see on approach but this makesthe panel very close and limited in view and cannot be overcome by just moving eyepoint.Thanks

EZdok Camera will let you save the preferred zoom with any view. Can't imagine flying in FSX without EZCA...

Just use the + and - buttons in each of the views to create your optimal zoom..You can save the flight and recall it, which will bring back the zoom levels you selected.

Thanks for the replies. What I would like to do is keep the outside perspective of 1.2 zoombut a much lesser zoom <1.0 of the panel from the correct position in the pilot seat. At 1.2zoom the panel is way too large from the seat position. I wondered if there is anything in the panel.cfg to do this.

Try adjusting the Camera settings in the Aircraft.cfg file.For each camera view, there is an InitialZoom setting. For the main VC view, you need to change the Camera setting inthe FSX Cameras.cfg file - but that changes it for all aircraft!
