My Zoom (in and out) control is out of wack!. I have to much IN and not enough OUT. Outside spot aircraft looks  like a cigar. I have cycled

 the + and - keys in either direction.  I have looked in the "option" Controls but can't seem to find a fix. Any help please?

 

Have you loaded a complex/addon plane over another one/itself?

 

Shut down FSX and restart to see whether the issue persists.

Oliver,

Thanks, No I haven't. This situation only happens ocassionally, enough to make me think that something wasn't set correctly. Its mostly iritating when time is spent loading  up everything ( FMC, etc) then upon taxing one sees a cigar. Maybe I should look outside first??

thnaks again

WideViewAspect=False set in the FSX.cfg? That will cause this type of too-zoomed in look.

Would you believe I can't find FSX.cfg ?  My FSX folder has two files, FMCWP & PMDG and neither contains a cfg file. I've searched high and low.

Glad the problem doesn't exist ALL the time.  Just eratating.  Thanks though

Look out for the App data - roaming-  Microsoft - FSX folder.

 

Or simply let Explorer search your file.

this also happened to me when i reset my flight. the fix for these is that you need to restart your fsx

I've seen this, can't remember what caused it but try pressing Control-Space.
